I made myself great works; I built houses; I planted vineyards:
All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 2:4 Go To Ecclesiastes 2
Didymus the Blind
AD 398
If one wants to understand houses as good deeds, then every good deed is the house of its owner. Those who “hear the words of Jesus and do them” … build their foundation on a rock. Since virtue as a whole is one, one who strives after it builds one house, establishing it upon the rock, upon God’s unbreakable Word, that is, upon Christ.
