Ecclesiastes 10:15
labour . . . wearieth— (Isaiah 55:2; Habakkuk 2:13).
knoweth not how to go to the city—proverb for ignorance of the most ordinary matters (Ecclesiastes 10:3); spiritually, the heavenly city (Psalms 107:7; Matthew 7:13-14). MAURER connects Ecclesiastes 10:15 with the following verses. The labor (vexation) caused by the foolish (injurious princes, Ecclesiastes 10:4-7) harasses him who "knows not how to go to the city," to ingratiate himself with them there. English Version is simpler.
