Ecclesiastes 11:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Therefore remove sorrow Sensual and disorderly lusts, which he elegantly calls sorrow, to intimate, that although such practices at present gratify men's senses, yet they will shortly bring them to intolerable sorrows. And put away evil from thy flesh All evil desires, though now they seem good to thee. For childhood and youth are vanity Most vain. The time of youth is vanishing and transitory, and old age and death will speedily come, against which every wise man will take care to lay in solid provisions and comforts.

Ecclesiastes 11:10

10 Therefore remove sorrowc from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
