Ecc 11:8 | JFB | STEP | 8. But while man thankfully enjoys life, "let him remember" it will not last for ever. The "many days of darkness," that is, the unseen world ( , ; ), also days of "evil" in this world ( ), are coming; therefore sow the good seed while life and good days last, which are not too long for accomplishing life's duties. All that cometh-- that is, All that followeth in the evil and dark days is vain, as far as work for God is concerned ( ).

‏ Ecclesiastes 11:8

8. But while man thankfully enjoys life, "let him remember" it will not last for ever. The "many days of darkness," that is, the unseen world (Job 10:21, 22; Psa 88:12), also days of "evil" in this world (Ec 11:2), are coming; therefore sow the good seed while life and good days last, which are not too long for accomplishing life's duties.

All that cometh--that is, All that followeth in the evil and dark days is vain, as far as work for God is concerned (Ec 9:10).
