Ecclesiastes 6:1-12
man ............................. someone <0376> [a man.]
lacks <02638> [so.]
God ................... God <0430> [yet.]
A man may possess much earthly goods, and yet have neither the heart nor power to enjoy them. Possession and fruition are not necessarily joined together; and this is also among the vanities of life, and was and still is a very "common evil among men." It belongs to God as much to give the power to enjoy, as it does to give earthly blessings.
