Ecclesiastes - 1:11 Meaning
“There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
1:9-11 Men's hearts and their corruptions are the same now as in former times; their desires, and pursuits, and complaints, still the same. This should take us from expecting happiness in the creature, and quicken us to seek eternal blessings. How many things and persons in Solomon's day were thought very great, yet there is no remembrance of them now!
“And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.”
