Commentary on Ecclesiastes 2:23

Theological / Devotional

Days. In contrast with “night.” The working hours have been filled with activity, and the “night” with a wakeful pondering of the cares of the day. Solomon seems not to have fully realized the blessings of the discipline of toil, sorrow, and disappointment (see Job 35:10; cf. Rom. 8:35; 2 Cor. 12:9; Heb. 12:11; Rev. 3:19).
