Ecclesiastes 3:15 - John Wesley's Notes

Ecclesiastes 3:15

13 and also that ^aevery man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.

14 I know that whatever God does,
It shall be forever.
^aNothing can be added to it,
And nothing taken from it.
God does it, that men should fear before Him.

15 ^aThat which is has already been,
And what is to be has already been;
And God¹ requires an account of what is past.

Injustice Seems to Prevail

16 Moreover ^aI saw under the sun:
In the place of¹ judgment,
Wickedness was there;
And in the place of righteousness,
¹Iniquity was there.

17 I said in my heart,
^a“God shall judge the righteous and the wicked,
For there is a time there for every¹ purpose and for every work.”

Ecclesiastes 3:15

Hath been - Things past, present, and to come, are all ordered by one constant counsel, in all parts and ages of the world. There is a continual return of the same motions of the heavenly bodies, of the same seasons of the year, and a constant succession of new generations of men and beasts, but all of the same quality.
