Ecclesiastes 10:6-10

⁶Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.

⁷I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

⁸He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

⁹Whoever removeth stones shall be hurt by them; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered by it.

¹⁰If the iron is blunt, and he doth not whet the edge, then must he use more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
