Ecclesiastes 10:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Full of words; either,

1. Talkative. Or,

2. Forward to promise and brag what he will do, which is the common practice of foolish men; he is a man of words, as we use to say. Who can tell him ? these words contain either,

1. A inimical representation of his folly in using vain repetitions of the same words, such as those, a man cannot tell, & c., and who can tell, &c. Or,

2. A confutation of folly in promising or boasting of things which are wholly out of his power; for what shall be no man can either himself foreknow, or learn it from others.

Ecclesiastes 10:14

14 A fool also is fullg of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
