Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ecclesiastes 7:12

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

12. Literally, (To be) in (that is, under) the shadow ( :- ) of wisdom (is the same as to be) in (under) the shadow of money; wisdom no less shields one from the ills of life than money does. is, that —rather, "the excellency of the knowledge of wisdom giveth life," that is, life in the highest sense, here and hereafter ( Proverbs 3:18 ; John 17:3 ; 2 Peter 1:3 ). Wisdom (religion) cannot be lost as money can. It shields one in adversity, as well as prosperity; money, only in prosperity. The question in Ecclesiastes 7:10 implies a want of it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
