This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Resumption of Ecc 1:9. Whatever changes there be, the succession of events is ordered by God’s “everlasting” laws (Ecc 3:14), and returns in a fixed cycle.
requireth that ... past - After many changes, God’s law requires the return of the same cycle of events, as in the past, literally, “that which is driven on.” The Septuagint and Syriac translate: “God requireth (that is, avengeth) the persecuted man”; a transition to Ecc 3:16, Ecc 3:17. The parallel clauses of the verse support English Version.
