This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ecc_3:12 I know that [there is] no good in them, but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
Ver. 12. I know that there is no good in them,] i.e., No other good, but for a man to rejoice and do good in his life - i.e., Frui praesentibus et facere quod infuturo prosit, {a} to enjoy things present, and to do that which may do him good a thousand years hence; to expend what he hath upon himself, and to extend it unto others that are in necessity, this is to "lay up in store for himself a good foundation against the time to come"; this is to "lay hold upon eternal life." {1Ti_6:18-19}
{a} Glossa Minor.
