1. declare —rather, explore; the result of my exploring is this, that "the righteous, c., are in the hand of God. No man knoweth either the love or hatred (of God to them) by all that is before them," that is, by what is outwardly seen in His present dealings ( Ecclesiastes 8:14 Ecclesiastes 8:17 ). However, from the sense of the same words, in Ecclesiastes 9:6 , "love and hatred" seem to be the feelings of the wicked towards the righteous, whereby they caused to the latter comfort or sorrow. Translate: "Even the love and hatred" (exhibited towards the righteous, are in God's hand) ( Psalms 76:10 ; Proverbs 16:7 ). "No man knoweth all that is before them." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
