Ecclesiastes 10:17

Nobles. Men of good birth and breeding, therefore, presumably, of excellent character and conduct. The word may be translated either “freemen” or “nobles.”

Eat in due season. At the proper time, when the day’s duties have been attended to.

For strength. According to physical need, not for the sake of indulging appetite, or primarily as a social activity.

Drunkenness. Self-indulgence tends to moral and physical deterioration. Men in high position should set an exalted standard of conduct for themselves, and as an example for others.
