NASB | Ecclesiastes 9:8 Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 9:8 Let your clothes always be white [with purity], and do not let the oil [of gladness] be lacking on your head. |
Bible Question:
does dress yourself in all white mean to be one with GOD at all times |
Bible Answer: Katherine - The verse you have in mind is Eccl. 9:8, not 9:18 as in your question. Possibly the term "white garments" in this verse is best understood to symbolize purity. This verse falls contextually within a sub-section of Ecclesiastes (9:7-10) in which Solomon lays down some principles for living. .... In reference to white garments, please cf. Revelation 3:4 and 7:14 and the verses that surround them in order to understand them in proper context. --Hank |
