Strongs On/Off
Context
Wisdom is Needed to Avert Dangers in Everyday Life
10:8 One who digs a pit may fall into it, and one who breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake .
10:9 One who quarries stones may be injured by them; one who splits logs may be endangered by them.
10:10 If an iron axhead is blunt and a workman does not sharpen its edge , he must exert a great deal of effort ; so wisdom has the advantage of giving success .
10:11 If the snake should bite before it is charmed , the snake charmer is in trouble .
