FEMINISM in Ecclesiastes


Woman

 

Ecclesiastes 2:8  I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

Ecclesiastes 7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bands: whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

 7:27 “Behold, this have I found,”  said the Preacher, “laying one thing to another, to find out the account;

Ecclesiastes 7:28 which my soul still seeks, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

 7:29 “Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.”

 

 

Mother

 

Ecclesiastes 5:15 As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

 

 

Wife

 

Ecclesiastes 9:9  Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor wherein you labor under the sun.

 

 

Daughter

 

Ecclesiastes 12:1  Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you shall say, “I have no pleasure in them;”

 12:2  before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;

 12:3  in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened,

Ecclesiastes 12:4  and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

 12:5 yes, they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way, and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:

 12:6  before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

Ecclesiastes 12:7  and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
