Ecclesiastes - 8:1 Meaning
“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
8:1-5 None of the rich, the powerful, the honourable, or the accomplished of the sons of men, are so excellent, useful, or happy, as the wise man. Who else can interpret the words of God, or teach aright from his truths and dispensations? What madness must it be for weak and dependent creatures to rebel against the Almighty! What numbers form wrong judgments, and bring misery on themselves, in this life and that to come!
“What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.”
