Ecclesiastes 11:2

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Ecclesiastes 11:2. Give a portion to seven,

And if that be a perfect number, give beyond it,

Ecclesiastes 11:2. And also to eight;

Give to more than thou canst afford to give to. Help some who are doubtful, some who are outside of the perfect number, and give them a portion, a fair portion. Our Saviour went beyond Solomon; for he said, "Give to every man that asketh of thee."

Ecclesiastes 11:2. For thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

Thou knowest not what need there may be of thy help; nor what need may come to thee, and how thou thyself mayest be helped by those whom thou helpest now.
