The words of the wise] In this Solomon riseth higher, and comes up to the praise of the words of the wise in general, which is most appliable to the Word of God in the Scripture; the praise is from their power and efficacie; they are as Goads; as Nailes: And from their Authority, fastened d managed by the Masters of Assemblies, the Preachers and Ministers; And the Word, and they, both given from one Shepheard, the great Shepheard of the Sheep, the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet some would make this understanding of this verse, That the Authors of these Collections compiled them together into one body under the name of Solomon, guided thereunto, and so given, by and from Zerubbabel.
