Ecclesiastes 2:21 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; who useth great industry, and prudence, and justice too, in the management of his affairs, and therefore might as confidently expect God's blessing, and the comfort of his labours, as any other man. That hath not laboured therein, so as I have done; who hath spent his days in sloth and folly. A great evil; a great disorder in itself, and a great disgrace to this world, and a great torment to a considering mind.

Ecclesiastes 2:21

21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leavee it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
