NASB
"He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall."
— Ecclesiastes 10:8, NASB
“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”
“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him. ”
“He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.”
“Wisdom is Needed to Avert Dangers in Everyday Life One who digs a pit may fall into it, and one who breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.”
“He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”
“He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.”
“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”
There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which goes forth from the ruler--
folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places.
I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the land.
He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall.
He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them.
If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success.
If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
