Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ecclesiastes 12:13

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

13. The grand inference of the whole book. Fear God —The antidote to following creature idols, and "vanities," whether self-righteousness ( Ecclesiastes 7:16 ; Ecclesiastes 7:18 ), or wicked oppression and other evils ( Ecclesiastes 8:12 ; Ecclesiastes 8:13 ), or mad mirth ( Ecclesiastes 2:2 ; Ecclesiastes 7:2-5 ), or self-mortifying avarice ( Ecclesiastes 8:13 ; Ecclesiastes 8:17 ), or youth spent without God ( Ecclesiastes 11:9 ; Ecclesiastes 12:1 ). this is the whole duty of man —literally, "this is the whole man," the full ideal of man, as originally contemplated, realized wholly by Jesus Christ alone; and, through Him, by saints now in part, hereafter perfectly ( 1 John 3:22-24 ; Revelation 22:14 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"
