feel—experience.
time—the neglect of the right "times" causes much of the sinful folly of the spiritually unwise (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
judgment—the right manner [HOLDEN]. But as God's future "judgment" is connected with the "time for every purpose" in Ecclesiastes 3:17, so it is here. The punishment of persisting sinners (Ecclesiastes 8:3) suggests it. The wise man realizes the fact, that as there is a fit "time" for every purpose, so for the "judgment." This thought cheers him in adversity (Ecclesiastes 7:14; Ecclesiastes 8:1).
