9. Rejoice—not advice, but warning. So 1 Kings 22:15, is irony; if thou dost rejoice (carnally, Ecclesiastes 2:2; Ecclesiastes 7:2, not moderately, as in Ecclesiastes 5:18), c., then "know that . . . God will bring thee into judgment" (Ecclesiastes 3:17 Ecclesiastes 12:14). youth . . . youth—distinct Hebrew words, adolescence or boyhood (before Ecclesiastes 12:14- :), and full-grown youth. It marks the gradual progress in self-indulgence, to which the young especially are prone; they see the... read more

IV. THE WAY OF Wisdom 11:7-12:14In Ecclesiastes 1:12 to Ecclesiastes 6:9, Solomon demonstrated that all work is ultimately futile for two reasons. It does not yield anything really permanent under the sun, and we can never be sure we will enjoy the fruits of our labor before we die. In Ecclesiastes 6:10 to Ecclesiastes 11:6, he pointed out that we can never be sure which of our efforts will succeed, because we do not know God’s plans or what the future holds. In Ecclesiastes 11:7 to... read more

The second reason to enjoy life is that youth is fleeting. [Note: See Kaiser, Ecclesiastes . . ., p. 116.] Solomon balanced his counsel to the youth to follow his or her impulses and wholesome desires, with a reminder that God will judge us all eventually. Solomon probably thought of God’s judgments before death (cf. Ecclesiastes 2:24-26; Ecclesiastes 7:17)."To older people it may seem to be too risky to advise a young person to walk in the ways of his heart and the sight of his eyes. Yet the... read more

Life After All is Worth Living1-3. Fulfil the duty of beneficence, knowing that results are in the hands of God.1. Cast thy bread, etc.] show kindness, even where a return is least to be expected. A blessing in some sort, although it may be long delayed, will result. There is perhaps a reference to the sowing of seed on irrigated land.2. Give a portion, etc.] be not niggardly or calculating in the bestowal of favours. You know not when you may need them yourself.3. The fixed laws by which the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ecclesiastes 11:9

(9) The beginning of the last chapter would more conveniently have been placed here than where the division is actually made. It is hard to interpret the judgment spoken of in this verse of anything but future judgment, when we bear in mind how much of the book is taken up with the complaint that retribution does not take place in this life. read more

Sowing and Reaping Ecclesiastes 11:1 By general consent the primary reference of the text is to the Egyptian custom of scattering seed upon the oozy soil formed by the overflowing of the Nile. To the thoughtful mind there is a remarkable resemblance between the laws of the physical and the moral harvest: I. The Natural Harvest. The golden grain once more gathered in reveals: a. The power of God. Think of the vast machinery that He employs to produce our daily bread. b. The wisdom of God. The... read more

Combined with a steadfast Faith in the Life to come. Ecclesiastes 10:9 - Ecclesiastes 12:7But, soft; is not our man of men becoming a mere man of pleasure? No; for he recognises the claims of duty and of charity. These keep his pleasures sweet and wholesome, prevent them from usurping the whole man, and landing him in the satiety and weariness of dissipation. But lest even these safeguards should prove insufficient, he has also this: he knows that "God will bring him into judgment"; that all... read more

CHAPTER 11 1. Proverbs concerning man’s work(Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 ) 2. The vanity of life (Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 ) Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 . These continued proverbs concern the work of man and begin with exhortations to charity and are followed by the wise acknowledgement that no one knows the works of God, who is the maker of all. All this knowledge is within the compass of the natural man. Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 . After these philosophic proverbs he comes back to his former finding--vanity. So... read more
