King James Version with Apocrypha
"Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better."
— Ecclesiastes 10:11, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.”
“If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer. ”
“If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer's tongue.”
“If the snake should bite before it is charmed, the snake charmer is in trouble.”
“If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly.”
“If a snake gives a bite before the word of power is said, then there is no longer any use in the word of power.”
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.
Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
