And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12 – TLB
Although an assailant may overpower[a] one person,
two can withstand him.
Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12 – NET
As Ecclesiastes unfolds, contrasting pictures emerge from its pages. We see secular wisdom at variance with the divine wisdom from on high. We discover the wonderful hope we have in our eternal God, as the antithesis of man’s devastating despair in this fallen world system.
We hear of the futility of man’s fleshly accomplishments and the emptiness and pain that permeates every aspect of life, when God is excluded. We discover that the continuous ebb and flow of human activity, secures the soul of every man in the iron-grip of death, and no-one is exempt. Yet Solomon’s conclusion, when all had been evaluated, is that man’s duty is to fear God and to keep His commandments.
At times, the contents of this book sound like the ramblings of a depressed man, interspersed with little glimmers of hope and injections of joy here and there. At other times it appears to contradict other passages in Scripture, causing some to question its legitimacy as an integral part of the Scriptures. However, it must never be forgotten that these are the reflections of Solomon, as he approached the end of his life. And there is much that we can learn from its pages, for all Scripture is written by inspiration of God and is profitable for our learning.
