Loader teilt Koh 1,12-12,18 in dreißig Perikopen ein, die er in eigener englischer Übersetzung wiedergibt und auf “polare", d.h. in Spannung zueinander stehende Denkstrukturen untersucht, so daß unter diesem Gesichtspunkt ein nahezu vollständiger Kommentar zum Koheletbuch entsteht. (Nur Kap. 7,8-10 bleibt als einziger textual content ohne polaren Inhalt außer Betracht). Die Besprechung der Perikopen folgt nicht der Anordnung des Textes, sondern den zehn grundlegenden Polaritäten, die Loader findet: Bewahrung, Leben - Verlust, Tod; Wert(losigkeit) der Weisheit; Wagnis und Sicherheit; politische Macht(losigkeit) ; Reden und Schweigen; Unwert des Reichtums; Arbeit ohne Erfolg; unmenschlicher Mensch; ausbleibender Lohn; Mühsal und Freude. Bei seiner examine kommt Loader ohne die geläufige Annahme einer orthodoxen Rezension des Koheletbuches aus. Auch wo die Polarität der herkömmlichen Lebensweisheit entstammt — besonders bei Reden / Schweigen —, läßt sie sich dieser nicht zuordnen, weil für Kohelet keine Lebenskunde möglich ist.

G. 6 b). So these literary types-all known from general wisdom literat u r e - a r e built into the series of literary units found in the Book of Qohelet. Now a series of literary units may be classified into a Gattung when they have a number of common characteristics. The pericopes in the book contain questioning, stating and admonishing reflections wherein the types enumerated in the preceding paragraphs are used. Therefore we may regard them as a Gattung (the latter being an operational category applicable to literary types from the smallest to the largest units).
In contradistinction to v. 1-4 on the theme of life and death. The structure of the pericope can be mapped as follows: 1 A good name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of birth. 2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for that is the end of every human, and the living should take it to heart. 3 Grief is better than laughter, for when the face is sad it is well with the heart. 4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools in the house of merriment.
6. The dismal opposite of wisdom is stressed by a fine pun. Firstly, the polysemy of sir is exploited ("pot" and "thorn"), and secondly, the alliteration of the sibilant (sirim, sir, s'hoq, k'sil) draws attention to the negative evaluation of folly. Podechard considers v. 7 to be a gloss, Hertzberg removes it to another context, and Delitzsch cannot see any relation between v. 7 and s-6. ki is no problem here, for its conjunctive function need not be causal. Neither do the contents present a difficulty, because " .
