Ecclesiastes - 1:7 Meaning
“All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
1:4-8 All things change, and never rest. Man, after all his labour, is no nearer finding rest than the sun, the wind, or the current of the river. His soul will find no rest, if he has it not from God. The senses are soon tired, yet still craving what is untried.
“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.”
