Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I can see
I can see how you might read 28:2 that way from just the NKJV. But I would still read it the other way. Rather then saying that a land that is in disorder needs many rulers, I would read it as saying that a land that is in disorder will go through many rulers.

This is clearly what the old KJV authors thought when they translated it this way When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But with wise and knowledgeable leaders, there is stability.

Youngs Literal has it like this When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order.

Most give the second part as refering to a single leader, but a few do render it in the plural.

As for 28:1, I can't see much cowardly about the actions of the terrorists. The only part I would call cowardly is the way that Osma Bin Laden is praising the attack, but hasn't actually taken credit for it. Considering the kind of military force against them, hiding is the only sensible option open to them.

New Oh, saw, can you see?
A land going through turmoil may go through many leaders, but also will go through many citizens as well.


A company in turmoil will go through many leaders and lay off at least 10% of it's employees, mostly the ones that helped stop the company from going all the way into the crapper. PHBs can ruin a company and suck the life out of a company faster than a Black Hole can. Weap and cry for such a company, they will lose their talented employees which shall quit before management figured out that it is management that is the problem and not the employees quitting. But rather than lay off the bad managers, they keep laying off the worker bees and the people that are not making the big bone-headed mistakes that can sink a company.

New There is value in seeing it both ways.
I see why you questioned my translation.

I was sort of looking at the verses with a global perspective (the entire land).
Many princes are needed in order to curb human evil.
Yes, evil leaders will fall but together the group of princes with enforce justice.

Does that help you to see it from the perspective I was coming from?
Now I have two perspectives. (:

At times I feel uncomfortably sure that I was a sysadmin by trade.
