Ecclesiastes 11:10 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Sorrow — Sensual and disorderly lusts, which he elegantly calls sorrow, to intimate, that although such practices at present gratify mens senses, yet they will shortly bring them to intolerable sorrows. Evil — All evil desires, tho' now they seem good to thee. Vanity — Most vain. The time of youth is vanishing and transitory, and old age and death will speedily come, against which every wise man will take care to lay in solid provisions and comforts.

Ecclesiastes 11:10

10 Therefore remove sorrowc from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
