Ecclesiastes 7:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Take hold of, embrace and practise, this; this counsel last given, Ecclesiastes 7:17. Also from this; from that foregoing advice, Ecclesiastes 7:16. It is good to avoid both those extremes. Withdraw not thine hand from the practice of it. He that feareth God, who ordereth his actions so as to please God, and keep his commands, and walk by the rule of his word, shall come forth of them all; shall be delivered from both these, and from all other extremes, and from all the evil consequences of them. The word all is sometimes put for both, as being used of two only, as Ecclesiastes 2:14.

Ecclesiastes 7:18

18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
