Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ecclesiastes 6:7-12

7-12 A little will serve to sustain us comfortably, and a great deal can do no more. The desires of the soul find nothing in the wealth of the world to give satisfaction. The poor man has comfort as well as the richest, and is under no real disadvantage. We cannot say, Better is the sight of the eyes than the resting of the soul in God; for it is better to live by faith in things to come, than to live by sense, which dwells only upon present things. Our lot is appointed. We have what pleases... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ecclesiastes 6:1-12

Of the Vanity of Earthly Riches. v. 1. There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men, it weighs heavily upon a great many unfortunate people; v. 2. a man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, even to the point of luxury, all the highest gifts known to man here on earth, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, lacking nothing of things which are commonly considered most desirable by men, yet God giveth him not power to eat... read more

THIRD DISCOURSEof true practical Wisdom.Ecclesiastes 6:1 to Ecclesiastes 8:15.A. It cannot consist in striving after earthly sources of happinessEcclesiastes 6:1-12.1. Even those most richly blessed with earthly possessions do not attain to a true and lasting enjoyment of them(Ecclesiastes 6:1-6.)1There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 2A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ecclesiastes 6:1-12

The preacher knows prosperity experimentally far better than poverty. Moreover, by observation he is more familiar with men of wealth than with poor men, and, therefore, he returns to a declaration of the sorrows of the wealthy. A man possessing, cannot possess. Lacking nothing of all he desires, yet he cannot eat thereof. That is to say, he has a craving and desire within him which none of these things can appease. If a man be surrounded by children and yet at last have no burial, it would be... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ecclesiastes 6:1-7

Life Is Not Enjoyable To Even Some of the Rich (Ecclesiastes 6:1-7 ). Ecclesiastes 6:1 ‘There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavily on men. A man to whom God gives riches, wealth and honour so that he lacks nothing for himself of all that he could desire, yet God does not give him the privilege (power) of enjoying them, but a stranger eats of it. This is vanity and a sore affliction.’ He points out that life is not always consistent. There may be many reasons why a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ecclesiastes 6:1-12

Ecclesiastes 6. Further Reflections on Wealth and Fate.— Parallel with the bitter experience of the avaricious man who loses his wealth is that of the rich and successful man whose cherished desires are unfulfilled. Having no keen satisfaction himself he yet hopes to see his son enjoy his acquisitions, but he is childless, or if he has the blessings of a large family (a “ hundred” is just a round number) and a long life— both highly prized by the Jews— the children may disappoint him by their... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ecclesiastes 6:7

For his mouth; for meat to put into his mouth, that he may get food; and as bread is oft put for all food, so food is put for all necessary provisions for this life, as Proverbs 30:8, and elsewhere; whereof this is the chief, for which a man will sell his house and lands, yea, the very garments upon his back. Is not filled: although all that a man can go: by his labours is but necessary food, which the meanest sort of men commonly enjoy, as is observed in the next verse; yet such is the vanity... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ecclesiastes 6:1-9

Ecclesiastes 5:9-20 ; Ecclesiastes 6:1-9 I. In all grades of society human subsistence is very much the same. Even princes are not fed with ambrosia, nor do poets subsist on asphodel. The profit of the earth is for all. II. When a man begins to amass money, he begins to feed an appetite which nothing can appease, and which its proper food will only render fiercer. Therefore happy they who have never got enough to awaken the accumulating passion! III. It is another consideration which should... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ecclesiastes 6:1-12

Ecclesiastes 6:0 I. Throughout this sixth chapter the Preacher is speaking of the lover of riches, not simply of the rich man; not against wealth, but against mistaking wealth for the chief good. The man who trusts in riches is placed before us; and, that we may see him at his best, he has the riches in which he trusts. Yet because he does not accept his abundance as the gift of God, and hold the Giver better than His gift, he cannot enjoy it. "All the labour of this man is for his mouth;" that... read more
