This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
nothing better = no goodness.
better. Occurs in Ecc_2:24; Ecc_3:22; Ecc_4:3, Ecc_4:6, Ecc_4:9, Ecc_4:13, &c.
than. Ginsburg thinks this "than" should be in the text.
his soul = himself. Hebrew. nephesh. App-13.
it: i.e. true enjoyment. Omit the preceding italics.
God. Hebrew. ha-'Elohim = the [true] God (App-4. with Art.) God (as Creator) is the subject which is continued through the next verse as the source and giver of all good. It is not therefore necessary to suppose that "another hand has been here at work".
