Ecclesiastes 11:8 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Rejoice — Enjoy all the comforts, and escape all the embitterments of human life, all his days. Darkness — Of death, or of the state of the dead. Many — Far more than the days of this short life. All — All things which befall any man belonging only to this life, are but vain, because they are short and transitory.

Ecclesiastes 11:8

8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
