Ecclesiastes 2:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I was great, in riches, and power, and glory. Also my wisdom remained with me; as yet I was not wholly besotted and seduced from God by these things, as I was afterwards; I still had the use of my reason, whereby I was capable of searching after and finding satisfaction, if it was to be had in those things.

Ecclesiastes 2:9

9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
