ECCLESIASTES 12 SERIES - Verse 10

 Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry

 

The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: 

and that which was written was upright, 

even words of truth.

Vs. 10 

 

He sought to find out acceptable words - חפץ דברי dibrey chephets, words of desire, words of will; the best, the most suitable words; those which the people could best understand. 

 

But these words were not such as might merely please the people; they were words of truth; such as came from God, and might lead them to him.

 

 

Those are sure not to miss their way who are guided by these words.
