Ecclesiastes 6

Everett's Study Notes on the Holy ScripturesEverett's Study Notes

Verses 1-12

The Vanity of Riches - There are two dangers to having riches. The first is that riches can easily cause the heart to become covetous, which is discusses in Ecclesiastes 5:8-20. Man’s covetousness results in wealth being accumulated through wicked means. The second vice is that men tend to find no rest and contentment after having accumulated wealth. This negative aspect of riches is discussed in Ecclesiastes 6:1-12. When men gain wealth by honorable methods, he is still in danger of falling prey to discontentment and failing to enjoy the life that God intended him to enjoy.

Outline Here is a proposed outline:

1. Riches and covetousness Ecclesiastes 5:8-20

2. Riches without contentment Ecclesiastes 6:1-12
