SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:5
Aunque no haya visto el sol, ni conocido nada , más reposo tiene éste que aquél.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Moreover, he hath not seen the sun , etc.] This must be spoken of the abortive, and seems to confirm the sense of the former text, as belonging to it; and whereas it has never seen the light of the sun, nor enjoyed the pleasure and comfort of it, it is no ways distressing to it to be without it. The Targum is, “the light of the law he seeth not; and knoweth not between good and evil, to judge between this world and that to come:” so the Vulgate Latin version, “neither knows the difference of good and evil”; nor known [anything] ; not the sun, nor anything else: or “experienced” f147 and “felt” the heat of the sun, and its comfortable influences; which a man may, who is blind, and has never seen it, but an abortive has not; and indeed has known no man, nor any creature nor thing in this world, and therefore it is no concern to it to be without them; and besides, has never had any knowledge or experience of the troubles of lifts, which every living man is liable to. Wherefore this is certain, this hath more rest than the other ; that is, the abortive than the covetous man; having never been distressed with the troubles of life, and now not affected with the sense of loss.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The vanity of riches. Also of long life and flourishing families (Eccl. 6:1-6) The little advantage any one has in outward things (Eccl. 6:7-12) Eccl. 6:1-6 A man often has all he needs for outward enjoyment; yet the Lord leaves him so to covetousness or evil dispositions, that he make no good or comfortable use of what he has. By one means or other his possessions come to strangers; this is vanity, and an evil disease. numerous family was a matter of fond desire and of high honour amon the Hebrews; and long life is the desire of mankind in general. Eve with these additions a man may not be able to enjoy his riches, family and life. Such a man, in his passage through life, seems to have bee born for no end or use. And he who has entered on life only for on moment, to quit it the next, has a preferable lot to him who has live long, but only to suffer.
Eccl. 6:7-12 A little will serve to sustain us comfortably, and a grea deal can do no more. The desires of the soul find nothing in the wealt of the world to give satisfaction. The poor man has comfort as well a the richest, and is under no real disadvantage. We cannot say, Bette is the sight of the eyes than the resting of the soul in God; for it is better to live by faith in things to come, than to live by sense, whic dwells only upon present things. Our lot is appointed. We have what pleases God, and let that please us. The greatest possessions an honours cannot set us above the common events of human life. Seein that the things men pursue on earth increase vanities, what is man the better for his worldly devices? Our life upon earth is to be reckone by days. It is fleeting and uncertain, and with little in it to be fon of, or to be depended on. Let us return to God, trust in his merc through Jesus Christ, and submit to his will. Then soon shall we glid through this vexatious world, and find ourselves in that happy place where there is fulness of joy and pleasures for evermore __________________________________________________________________
