Ecclesiastes - 1:10 Meaning

“Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:9-11 Men's hearts and their corruptions are the same now as in former times; their desires, and pursuits, and complaints, still the same. This should take us from expecting happiness in the creature, and quicken us to seek eternal blessings. How many things and persons in Solomon's day were thought very great, yet there is no remembrance of them now!

“And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.”
