Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

To make Worship Formal and Insincere. Ecclesiastes 5:1-7(d) But now if, like Coheleth, we follow these men to the Temple, what is the scene that meets our eye? In the English Ternple, I fear, that which would first strike an unaccustomed observer would be the fact that very few men of business are there. They are "conspicuous by their absence," or, at best, noted for an only occasional attendance. The Hebrew Temple was crowded with men; in the English Temple it is the other sex which... read more

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ecclesiastes 5:1-20

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

Geneva Study Bible - Ecclesiastes 5:1

5:1 Keep thy {m} foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of {n} fools: for they consider not that they do evil.(m) That is, with what affection you come to hear the word of God.(n) Meaning, of the wicked, who think to please God with common uses, and have neither faith nor repentance. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ecclesiastes 5:2

5:2 Be not {a} rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be {b} few.(a) Either in vowing or in praying, meaning, that we should use all reverence toward God.(b) He hears you not for the sake of your many words or often repetitions, but considers your faith and servant’s mind. read more

James Gray

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

Joseph Parker

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

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ecclesiastes 5:1

CONTENTS The Preacher here enters upon a view of sacred worship in the house of God. He shows that all service void of spiritual worship is vanity. This is followed with similar observations, tending to prove that whatever men place their confidence in the world, terminates in disappointment. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ecclesiastes 5:1-2

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. (2) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. Perhaps Solomon had in view the situation of Moses at the bush, and of Joshua, before the captain of the Lord's host, by Jericho. Exodus 3:5 ; Joshua 5:13-15 . But keeping... read more
