Sermons on Ecclesiastes 8

The chapter opens by praising wisdom, then urges obedience to the king because of an oath to God and because rulers exercise authority over judgment and war. It contrasts the wise, who discern the proper time and procedure, with the trouble that weighs on humanity when no one knows what will come. The Teacher also observes the seeming disorder of justice: wicked people may receive honor while the righteous suffer. He concludes that, despite such mysteries, people should receive with joy God’s gifts in their labor. Themes include wisdom, human limits, justice, and God’s providence.
