Doct. 1. A man that shall apply his heart to search and discern the wisdom of God in his work and dealing with the righteous and with the wicked, though himself be wise, and his labour great to find it out, yet his labour shall be fruitless, and himself restless. He speaketh here of the wisdom of God in his work and dealing with the righteous and with the wicked (both alike) as appeareth by the verse before, verse 15. and the verses following, Chap. 9. verse 1.2, 3. His labour shall be fruitless, for he shall not find out what he sought for verse 17. and himself restless as Solomon himself confesseth (and he seemeth to speak it of himself) there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes, Psal. 73.16. Jer. 12.1, 2. Habac. 1.13, 14, 15. Job 9.10, 11, 12.
