For one so backslidden,
For one so backslidden, Solomon underscores some deep Bible truths next, in Ecc 7:8-14 (CP Ecc 7:8-14).
Ecc 7:8 teaches that God's children must always avoid acting rashly or hastily (CP V 8 with Pr 14:29; Eph 4:2). Ecc 7:9 teaches that God's children must not permit themselves to be provoked to anger (CP V 9 with Pr 14:17; 16:32; 17:14; 1Cor 13:4-5; Jas 1:19-20). Ecc 7:11-12 reminds us that Christ is the wisdom of God.
In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (CP V 11-12 with Pr 3:13-18; 8:1-36; 9:1-11; 13:14; Col 2:3). Ecc 7:13-14 teaches that by acknowledging God is at work in them, God's children must accept adversity and prosperity in the same spirit of grace (CP V 13-14 with Php 4:11-13; 1Ti 6:6-8; He 13:5-6).
