10:4 If the anger
for a calm
10:5 I have seen another
It is an error a ruler makes.
10:6 Fools
while wealthy men sit in lowly positions.
10:7 I have seen slaves
and princes walking on foot
10:8 One who digs a pit may
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
he must exert a great deal of effort;
so wisdom has the advantage of giving success.
