Ecclesiastes 8:3
_ _ hasty — rather, “Be not terror-struck so as to go out of His sight.” Slavishly “terror-struck” is characteristic of the sinner’s feeling toward God; he vainly tries to flee out of His sight (Psalms 139:7); opposed to the “shining face” of filial confidence (Ecclesiastes 8:1; John 8:33-36; Romans 8:2; 1 John 4:18).
_ _ stand not — persist not.
_ _ for he doeth — God inflicts what punishment He pleases on persisting sinners (Job 23:13; Psalms 115:3). True of none save God. |
Ecclesiastes 8:3
To go — In discontent, withdrawing thyself from the king's service or obedience. Stand not — if thou hast offended him, persist not in it. For — His power is uncontrollable. |
