Eccles. 10:2 The “right hand” is often associated with strength in the OT. The Preacher is probably referring to the left to indicate weakness.

Eccles. 10:6–7 The Preacher is aware that the poor can possess wisdom and that the wealthy ruling classes can be corrupt.

Eccles. 10:8–12 The various disasters described in vv. 8–11 are all accidental, so the one who digs a pit is not necessarily intending to cause harm.

Eccles. 10:14 The fact that no man knows what is to be does not prevent a fool from making many unsupported predictions.

Eccles. 10:15 A fool’s toil in the fields is more tiring than others’ because he is unaware of things that would make his work easier.

Eccles. 10:19 Bread . . . wine . . . money. The Preacher comments favorably here on each of these. Money answers everything in that it can influence a situation to produce the result one desires.
