Ecclesiastes 10:5

10:5 I have seen another misfortune on the earth:

It is an error a ruler makes.


tn The term “another” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation to indicate that this is not the first “misfortune” described by the Teacher. See 5:13, 16; 6:1-2.

tn Heb “an evil.”

tn Heb “under the sun.”

tn Heb “like an error that comes forth from the presence of a ruler.”
