Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
saith the preacher;
all is vanity.
Vs.8
Solomon is here drawing towards a close,.....He repeats his text--
1. As that which he had fully
demonstrated the truth of, and so made good his undertaking in this sermon,
wherein he had kept closely to his text, and both his reasons and his
application were to the purpose.
2. As that which he desired to inculcate both
upon others and upon himself, to have it ready, and to make use of it upon all
occasions. We see it daily proved; let it therefore be daily improved: Vanity
of vanities, all is vanity.
Now that man, the masterpiece of God's creation, the delegated sovereign
of this lower world, is turned to dust, what is there worthy
of contemplation besides? All - All is Vanity!
