"And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?"
this verse is a continuation of the previous verses. We will look at it on its own, for each verse and phrase teaches, instructs and grants us what we need in our spiritual walk with Him. And this also is a sore evil - not just evil, but a sore evil; A sore evil is deeper, like a bruise, which goes beyond surface skin. This sore evil comes from the depths of hell to cotninue the destruction upon the souls of men. A sore evil is only vanquished and put away when a great SAvior is brought to the forefront. Evil cannot be a part of Him. And when God in His perfect, holy void of sin and evil looks down upon this evil, what is there to behold? This life is a sore evil for so many. HOw little is the holiness of God's people. How few are those taht seek after teh Lord. Too many people are given unto this sore evil. Men follow after it with the fool 'who says, there is no God.'
Solomon is getting to define the sore evil that this verses focuses on, but you and I should lift up our eyes and see what sore evil is around us. An evil act, one time done and then no more is still a sinful, evil act. But the sore evil is a continous evil that seems to have no end. Generational sins are sore evils; abortion is a sore evil, for the very blood shed is upon the ground to cover the land; a sore evil will continue for days, weeks, years, or time. 'The lust of the eyes, the lusts of the flesh and the pride of life' began in the garden of eden with Eve and has continued through this day as a sore evil. Soon our Lord shall return and put this sore evil away and then shall HIs children be with Him where there will be no more sore evil to afflict, destroy, torment or ruin souls.
