Commentary on Ecclesiastes 4:11

Theological / Devotional

Two lie together. Verse 10 speaks of help and support in difficulty; this, of comfort. Solomon here thinks of the heat of the day followed by the cold of night, and of the poverty of the common man, whose only bedding often consisted of his outer garment (see Ex. 22:26, 27).
