Ecclesiastes 12:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. This affecting and minute description of old age and death is concluded by the author with the same exclamation by which he began this book: O vanity of vanities, saith Koheleth, all is vanity. Now that man, the masterpiece of God's creation, the delegated sovereign of this lower world, is turned to dust, what is there stable or worthy of contemplation besides? All - All is Vanity!
