Ecclesiastes 6:8
For—"However" [MAURER]. The "for" means (in contrast to the insatiability of the miser), For what else is the advantage which the wise man hath above the fool?"
What—advantage, that is, superiority, above him who knows not how to walk uprightly
hath the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?—that is, to use and enjoy life aright (Ecclesiastes 5:18-19), a cheerful, thankful, godly "walk" (Psalms 116:9).
