(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
feel - experience.
time - the neglect of the right “times” causes much of the sinful folly of the spiritually unwise (Ecc 3:1-11).
judgment - the right manner [Holden]. But as God’s future “judgment” is connected with the “time for every purpose” in Ecc 3:17, so it is here. The punishment of persisting sinners (Ecc 8:3) suggests it. The wise man realizes the fact, that as there is a fit “time” for every purpose, so for the “judgment.” This thought cheers him in adversity (Ecc 7:14; Ecc 8:1).
