Ecclesiastes 6:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Live a thousand years twice told; wherein he seems to have a privilege above an untimely birth. Hath he seen no good; he hath enjoyed little or no comfort in it, and therefore long life is rather a curse and mischief than a blessing or advantage to him. Do not all, whether born out of and before their time, or in due time, whether their lives be long or short, go to one place; to the grave. And so after a little time all are alike as to this life, of which he here speaks; and as to the other life, his condition is infinitely worse than that of an untimely birth.

Ecclesiastes 6:6

6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
