Ecclesiastes 10:9

← Ecclesiastes 10:8	Ecclesiastes 10:9 (KJV)	Ecclesiastes 10:10 →
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.	Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; [and] he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.	If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
