Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ecclesiastes 5:1-17

Practical Maxims deduced from this View of the Business life.(b) A noble philosophy this, and pregnant with practical counsels of great value. For if, as we close our study of this Section of the Book, we ask, "What good advice does the Preacher offer that we can take and act upon?" we shall find that he gives us at least three serviceable maxims.A Maxim on Cooperation. Ecclesiastes 4:9-16To all men of business conscious of their special dangers and anxious to avoid them, he says, first:... read more

SECOND SECTIONThe Quest Of The Chief Good In Devotion To The Affairs Of BusinessEcclesiastes 3:1 - Ecclesiastes 5:20I. IF the true Good is not to be found in the School where Wisdom utters her voice, nor in the Garden in which Pleasure spreads her lures: may it not be found in the Market, in devotion to Business and Public Affairs? The Preacher will try this experiment also. He gives himself to study and consider it. But at the very outset he discovers that he is in the iron grip of immutable... read more

And a more helpful and consolatory Trust in the Divine Providence. Ecclesiastes 5:8-17Not content with this, however, the Preacher goes on to show how, when they returned from the House of God to the common round of life, and were once more exposed to its miseries and distractions, there were certain comfortable and sustaining thoughts on which they might stay their spirits. To the worship of the Sanctuary he would have them add a strengthening trust in the Providence of God. That Providence... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ecclesiastes 5:10-17

The Correctives of this Devotion are a Sense of its Perils; Ecclesiastes 5:10-17(a) Well, the very sense of danger to which they are exposed-a danger so insidious, so profound, so fatal-should surely induce caution and a wary self-control. The symptoms of the disease are described that we may judge whether or not we are infected by it; its dreadful issues that, if infected, we may study a cure. The man who loves riches is placed before us that we may learn what he is really like-that he is not... read more

3. Exhortations on Different Vanities CHAPTER 5 1. Concerning worship and vows (Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 ) 2. Concerning extortions (Ecclesiastes 5:8-9 ) 3. The vanities of wealth (Ecclesiastes 5:10-17 ) 4. The conclusion (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 ) Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 . The writer, King Solomon, seems to have been exhausted in his descriptions as to the things under the sun. He pauseth and turns to something different. He meditates on worship, that man aims to get in touch with the unseen God.... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ecclesiastes 5:1-20

VARIETIES IN WORSHIP (Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 ) On these verses the writer seems to muse on the relation of the unseen Being to the act of man in worship. Mindful of man’s jaunty liberalism and superstition, rash vows and wordy prayers, dreamy and unreal, because full of intruding vanities and worldly businesses, the preacher earnestly exhorts to few words and solemn steps. But even then it is the natural man only who is speaking in the exhortation, not the regenerate man, because he speaks only... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ecclesiastes 5:1-20

A Call to Reverence Ecclesiastes 5:0 The subject is now changed. Up to this time we have had Coheleth's view of life given with much graphic force and vividness. We have seen his world a mere card-house of a world, well painted and wonderfully gilded, yet cold and full of discontent, with "Vanity of vanities" written in boldest letters over its portals. Now Coheleth turns to a higher theme. Yet, though the subject has changed, there is no change in the main principle. Coheleth is still talking... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ecclesiastes 5:8-20

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they. (9) Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. (10) He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. (11) When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what... read more
