Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:9

Theological / Devotional

What profit? See on ch. 1:3. Solomon’s question implies a negative reply. Why should man toil to improve his status in life when he is thwarted at every turn? He must learn that the One who places tests along life’s pathway is a loving Father, disciplining His earthborn children for their eternal good (see Heb. 12:11; Rev. 3:19-21).
