ecclesiastes 6:8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

ecclesiastes 6:8 For what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What [advantage] does the poor man have, knowing [how] to walk before the living?

8. For--"However" [MAURER]. The "for" means (in contrast to the insatiability of the miser), For what else is the advantage which the wise man hath above the fool?"
What--advantage, that is, superiority, above him who knows not how to walk uprightly
hath the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?--that is, to use and enjoy life aright (Ec 5:18, 19), a cheerful, thankful, godly "walk" (Ps 116:9).

ecclesiastes 6:8 For what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What [advantage] does the poor man have, knowing [how] to walk before the living?
