1 The vanity of human courses in the works of pleasure.12 Though the wise be better than the fool, yet both have one event.18 The vanity of human labour, in leaving it they know not to whom.24 Nothing better than joy in our labour; but that is God's gift. said.15; 1:16,17; 3:17,18; Ps 10:6; 14:1; 27:8; 30:6,7; Lu 12:19Go to.Ge 11:3,4,7; 2Ki 5:5; Isa 5:5; Jas 4:13; 5:1I will.8:15; 11:9; Isa 50:5,11; Lu 16:19,23; Jas 5:5; Tit 3:3; Re 18:7,8 I said.Solomon is not speaking here of sober enjoyment of the things of the world, but of intemperate pleasure, whose two attendants, laughter and mirth, are introduced by a beautiful prosopopoeia, as two persons, whom he treats with the utmost contempt.

The LXX. have [oinocoon kai oinochoas,] "male and female cup-bearers," with which the Syriac and Arabic and Parkhurst agree; Aquila, [kulikon kai kulikia,] "a cup and smaller cups;" Jerome, {scyphos et urceolos, (Vulg. {urceos,}) "goblets and pots;" Targum, "warm and cold baths;" others, as M. Desvoeux, "male and female captives;" others, "cooks and confectioners;" others, "a species of musical compositions," derived from Sido, a celebrated Phoenician woman, to whom Sanchoniatho attributes the invention of music; but others, with more probability, "wives and concubines;" and {siddoth} may be in this sense synonymous with the Arabic {seedat, domina, conjux} from {sada,} in {Conj. V. conjugium inivit.} Of the former, Solomon had three hundred, and of the latter, seven hundred; and if they are not mentioned here they are not mentioned at all, which is wholly unaccountable. 1:16; 1Ki 3:12; 10:7,23; 1Ch 29:25; 2Ch 1:1; 9:22,23 whatsoever.3:22; 6:9; 11:9; Ge 3:6; 6:2; Jud 14:2; Job 31:1; Ps 119:37; Pr 23:51Jo 2:16my heart rejoiced.22; 5:18; 9:9; Ps 128:2 I looked.1:14; Ge 1:31; Ex 39:43; 1Jo 2:16,17behold.17-23; 1:3,14; Hab 2:13; 1Ti 6:6 I turned.1:17; 7:25even that which hath already been done. or, in those thingswhich have been already done. 25
