THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Ecclesiastes (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

ECCLESIASTES
This Book is called Ecclesiastes, or The Preacher, (in Hebrew, Coheleth,) because in it, Solomon, as an excellent preacher, setteth forth the vanity of the things of this world: to withdraw the hearts and affections of men from such empty toys.
