Eclesiastes 8:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 8:6

Because to every purpose there is time and judgment
There is a fit season, and a right and proper manner of doing everything that is to be done; see ( Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 ) ; which a wise man discerns; and which when a man hits upon, it prevents a great deal of mischief, which for want of it comes upon men, as the following clause shows; some refer this to the punishment of the wicked, and to a future judgment. So the Targum,

``to every business there is a time good and evil, and according to the judgment of truth the whole world is judged;''
and to the same purpose Jarchi,
``there is a time fixed for the visitation of the wicked, and there is judgment before the Lord; this is vengeance or punishment;''
therefore the misery of man [is] great upon him;
he not observing the right time and manner of doing what he ought, brings much trouble upon himself; his days are few and full trouble, and every day has a sufficiency of evil in because of the evil of sin, the evil of misery presses upon him, and is a heavy burden on him Jarchi's note is,
``when the wickedness of a man is great, then cometh his visitation.''

Eclesiastes 8:6 In-Context

4 Pois a palavra do rei é soberana, e ninguém lhe pode perguntar: “O que estás fazendo?”
5 Quem obedece às suas ordens não sofrerá mal algum,pois o coração sábio saberá a hora e a maneira certa de agir.
6 Porquanto há uma hora certa e também uma maneira certa de agir para cada situação.O sofrimento de um homem, no entanto, pesa muito sobre ele,
7 visto que ninguém conhece o futuro.Quem lhe poderá dizer o que vai acontecer?
8 Ninguém tem o poder de dominar o próprio espírito;tampouco tem poder sobre o dia da sua mortee de escapar dos efeitos da guerra;nem mesmo a maldade livra aqueles que a praticam.
