This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
time to die - (Psa 31:15; Heb 9:27).
plant - A man can no more reverse the times and order of “planting,” and of “digging up,” and transplanting, than he can alter the times fixed for his “birth” and “death.” To try to “plant” out of season is vanity, however good in season; so to make earthly things the chief end is vanity, however good they be in order and season. Gill takes it, not so well, figuratively (Jer 18:7, Jer 18:9; Amo 9:15; Mat 15:13).
