Ecclesiastes 8
1 True wisdom is modest.2 Kings are to be respected.6 Divine providence is to be observed.12 It is better with the godly in adversity, than with the wicked in prosperity.16 The work of God is unsearchable. as the2:13,14; 1Co 2:13-16who knoweth.Ge 40:8; 41:15,16,38,39; Job 33:23; Pr 1:6; Da 2:28-30,47; 4:18,192Pe 1:20a man's.Ex 34:29,30; Pr 4:8,9; 17:24; 24:5; Mt 17:2; Ac 6:15and the.De 28:50; Ac 4:13,29; Eph 6:19boldness.

But it may be regarded as a recommendation of a moderate use of worldly things, with a cheerful and contented mind; which may justly be considered as the greatest advantage which can be made of all below the sun: and amidst all changes, such a frame of mind, if the result of right principles, may and ought to be preserved; and it will be the recompence and solace of all our labours and toils. 2:24; 3:12,13,22; 5:18; 9:7-9; 1Ti 4:3,4; 6:17 When I.Solomon here records the result of his perplexing inquiries into the affairs of men, and the purposes, providence, and works of God. And when he examined with great attention and diligence into the works of God, he found he could neither comprehend nor explain them; and was persuaded, that no application or capacity would enable a man to fathom the depth of the Divine dispensations in this lower world. How vain, then, are all cavils against Divine providence; when we can neither understand, nor comprehend it! 9; 7; 7:25there is that.2:23; 4:8; 5:12; Ge 31:40; Ps 127:2 that a man.3:11; 7:23,24; 11:5; Job 5:9; 11:7-9; Ps 40:5; 73:16; 104:24Pr 30:3,4; Isa 40:28; Ro 11:33
