Ecclesiastes 11:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

He who neglects or delays the necessary works of sowing and reaping, because the weather is not exactly suitable to his desires, may possibly lose his harvest; whereby he intimates what is easily understood out of the foregoing verses, that men will never do good here, which is expressed by sowing, Psalms 112:9 2 Corinthians 9:6, and consequently not receive good hereafter, Which is called reaping, Galatians 6:7,8, if they be discouraged and hindered from it by every doubt or difficulty, such as covetous worldlings object to themselves, that others either do not want their charity, or with abuse it, that they may possibly need it hereafter.
