Ecclesiastes 10:9

New International Reader's Version

Anyone who removes stones from rock pits might get hurt. Anyone who cuts logs might get wounded.

See the chapter Copy

Suppose the blade of an ax is dull. And its edge hasn’t been sharpened. Then more effort is needed to use it. But skill will bring success.

Anyone who digs a pit might fall into it. Anyone who breaks through a wall might be bitten by a snake.
