Ecclesiastes 2:26 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Wisdom — To direct him how to use his comforts aright; that so they may be blessings, and not curses to him. Joy — A thankful contented mind. To heap up — He giveth him up to insatiable desires, and wearisome labours, that he may leave it to others, yea to such as he least desired, to good and virtuous men.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
