Ecclesiastes 12:11
_ _ goads — piercing deeply into the mind (Acts 2:37; Acts 9:5; Hebrews 4:12); evidently inspired words, as the end of the verse proves.
_ _ fastened — rather, on account of the Hebrew genders, (The words) “are fastened (in the memory) like nails” [Holden].
_ _ masters of assemblies — rather, “the masters of collections (that is, collectors of inspired sayings, Proverbs 25:1), are given (‘have published them as proceeding’ [Holden]) from one Shepherd,” namely, the Spirit of Jesus Christ [Weiss], (Ezekiel 37:24). However, the mention of “goads” favors the English Version, “masters of assemblies,” namely, under-shepherds, inspired by the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:2-4). Schmidt translates, “The masters of assemblies are fastened (made sure) as nails,” so Isaiah 22:23. |
Ecclesiastes 12:11
Nails — Piercing into men's dull minds, which make powerful and abiding impressions in them. Masters — By the teachers of God's church, appointed of God for that work. Shepherd — From Christ, the great Shepherd of the church in all ages. |
