ECCLESIASTES 10:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Eccl 10:16Eccl 10:18
Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
The blessing pronounced on a land whose king is of noble birth and whose rulers eat at the proper time, for strength and not for drunkenness, contrasts with the previous woe. Proper timing of meals, restraint from excess, and noble character in leadership distinguish a well-governed realm. This verse suggests that governance's quality depends on leaders' character and discipline.
