Ecclesiastes 12:1

(Ecclesiastes 12:1-14)

As Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 showed what youths are to shun, so this verse shows what they are to follow.

Creator—"Remember" that thou art not thine own, but God's property; for He has created thee (Psalms 100:3). Therefore serve Him with thy "all" (Mark 12:30), and with thy best days, not with the dregs of them (Proverbs 8:17; Proverbs 22:6; Jeremiah 3:4; Lamentations 3:27). The Hebrew is "Creators," plural, implying the plurality of persons, as in Genesis 1:26; so Hebrew, "Makers" (Isaiah 54:5).

while . . . not—that is, before that (Proverbs 8:26) the evil days come; namely, calamity and old age, when one can no longer serve God, as in youth (Ecclesiastes 11:2, Ecclesiastes 11:8).

no pleasure—of a sensual kind (II Samuel 19:35; Psalms 90:10). Pleasure in God continues to the godly old (Isaiah 46:4).
