But when one man was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead slipped from the handle and fell into the water. The man shouted, “Oh, master! I borrowed that axe!”
Then the woman told the man of God [23] (Elisha) what happened. Elisha told her, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt. After you sell the oil {and pay your debt}, you and your sons can live on the money that is left.”
But wisdom will make any job easier. It is very hard to cut with a dull knife. But if a person sharpens the knife, then the job is easier. \{Wisdom is like that.\}
