Ecclesiastes 10:8-11

He that diggeth
<02658> (8802)

a pit
<01475>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

into it; and whoso breaketh
<06555> (8802)

an hedge
<01447>_,

a serpent
<05175>

shall bite
<05391> (8799)

him.

Whoso removeth
<05265> (8688)

stones
<068>

shall be hurt
<06087> (8735)

therewith; [and] he that cleaveth
<01234> (8802)

wood
<06086>

shall be endangered
<05533> (8735)

thereby.

If the iron
<01270>

be blunt
<06949> (8765)_,

and he do not whet
<07043> (8773)

the edge
<06440>_,

then must he put
<01396> (8762)

to more strength
<02428>_:

but wisdom
<02451>

[is] profitable
<03504>

to direct
<03787> (8687)_.

Surely the serpent
<05175>

will bite
<05391> (8799)

without enchantment
<03908>_;

and a babbler
<03956> <01167>

is no better
<03504>_.

{a babbler: Heb. the master of the tongue}
