Commentary on Ecclesiastes 10:5

Theological / Devotional

An error. An unwise, autocratic ruler, a despotic administrator, is prone to make errors of judgment. The more power he has, the more widespread are the unfortunate results of these mistakes. When a prince surrounds himself with unscrupulous favorites, whose only purpose is to flatter, his errors of judgment and conduct will multiply.
