ECC 10:17 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

(Some words not found in UHB: blessed_of,you earth/land when,king_of,your son_of nobility and,princes_of,your in/on/at/with,proper_time feast in/on/at/with,strength and=not in/on/at/with,drunkenness )

The writer is speaking to the people of the nation as if they were the land itself, and he is speaking to the land as if it were a person. (See also: figs-personification)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) king is the son of nobles

This implies that the son has been trained by his elders in the customs of being a good king. Alternate translation: “king has trained by nobles”

(Occurrence 0) for strength, and not for drunkenness

This explains why the blessed leaders eat.
