10. Part II begins here. Since man's toils are vain, what is the
chief good?
(Ec 6:12).
The answer is contained in the rest of the book.
That which hath been--man's various circumstances
is named already--not only has existed,
Ec 1:9; 3:15,
but has received its just name, "vanity," long ago,
and it is known that it--vanity
is man--Hebrew, "Adam," equivalent to man "of red dust," as his
Creator appropriately named him from his frailty.
neither may he contend, &c.--
(Ro 9:20).
