Ecclesiastes 7:14
_ _ consider — resumed from Ecclesiastes 7:13. “Consider,” that is, regard it as “the work of God”; for “God has made (Hebrew, for ‘set’) this (adversity) also as well as the other (prosperity).” “Adversity” is one of the things which “God has made crooked,” and which man cannot “make straight.” He ought therefore to be “patient” (Ecclesiastes 7:8).
_ _ after him — equivalent to “that man may not find anything (to blame) after God” (that is, after “considering God’s work,” Ecclesiastes 7:13). Vulgate and Syriac, “against Him” (compare Ecclesiastes 7:10; Romans 3:4). |
Ecclesiastes 7:14
Be joyful — Enjoy God's favours with thankfulness. Consider — Consider that it is God's hand, and therefore submit to it: consider also why God sends it, for what sins, and with what design. God also — Hath wisely ordained, that prosperity and adversity should succeed one another. That — No man might be able to foresee, what shall befal him afterwards; and therefore might live in a constant dependance upon God, and neither despair in trouble, nor be secure or presumptuous in prosperity. |
Ecclesiastes 7:14
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity (i) consider: God also hath appointed the one as well as the other, to the end that man should find (k) nothing after him.
(i) Consider why God sends it and what may comfort you.
(k) That man should be able to control nothing in his works. |
