Ecclesiastes 1:5

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

, Ecclesiastes 1:6;

These verses are confused by being falsely divided. The first clause of the sixth should be joined to the fifth verse.

"The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he ariseth; going to the south, and circulating to the north."

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Hasteth … - literally, at his place panting (in his eagerness) riseth he there.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
All things change, and never rest. Man, after all his labour, is no nearer finding rest than the sun, the wind, or the current of the river. His soul will find no rest, if he has it not from God. The senses are soon tired, yet still craving what is untried.
