On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He had a whole country to himself, a lordship of his own; he was a little prince. Observe, His wealth lay much in the fruits of the earth, for the king himself is served by the field, Eccl. v. 9 . He had a great deal of ground, and his ground was fruitful; much would have more, and he had more.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

a certain rich man, &c.--Why is this man called a "fool?" (Lu 12:20) (1) Because he deemed a life of secure and abundant earthly enjoyment the summit of human felicity. (2) Because, possessing the means of this, through prosperity in his calling, he flattered himself that he had a long lease of such enjoyment, and nothing to do but give himself up to it.
