Ecclesiastes 12:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Acceptable words, Heb. desirable or delightful, worthy of all acceptation, such as would minister comfort and profit so the hearers or readers. Written by the preacher in this and his other books. Upright, Heb. right or straight, agreeable to the mind or will of God, which is the rule of right, not crooked or perverse. Words of truth; not fables cunningly devised to deceive the simple, but true and certain doctrines, which commend themselves to men's own consciences or reasons; wholesome and edifying counsels.

Ecclesiastes 12:10

10 The preacher sought to find out acceptablec words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
