This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ecc_5:17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
Ver. 17. All his days also he eats in darkness,] i.e., He lives besides that he hath, and cannot so much as be merry at meat. Hence is much sorrow, wrath, and sickness, especially if spoiled of his goods, which he made his god; he is no less troubled than Laban was for his teraphim, or Micah for his idol. {Jdg_17:3} He is mad almost, and ready to hang himself for woe, having much fretting, foaming, fuming, anger, languor, ready to flee at God and men.
