Ecclesiastes 6:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

For he - rather, it, the "untimely birth."

Cometh in with vanity - to no purpose; a type of the driftless existence of him who maketh riches the chief good.

And his name shall be covered with darkness - the name of the untimely embryo. Translate, 'its name;' of the abortive: a type of the unhonoured death and dark future beyond the grave, of the avaricious.
