Ecclesiastes 5:1 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Thy foot — Thy thoughts and affections, by which men go to God and walk with him. To hear — To hearken to and obey God's word. Of fools — Such as wicked men use to offer, who vainly think to please God with their sacrifices without obedience. For — They are not sensible of the great sinfulness of such thoughts.

Ecclesiastes 5:1

1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
