King James Version
"Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby."
— Ecclesiastes 10:9, King James Version
“Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby. ”
“Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered thereby.”
“One who quarries stones may be injured by them; one who splits logs may be endangered by them.”
“He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them.”
“He who gets out stones from the earth will be damaged by them, and in the cutting of wood there is danger.”
“Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.”
Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
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.
