Ecclesiastes 10:8-11

⁸He that diggeth a pit, shall fal into it, and he that breaketh the hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

⁹He that remooueth stones, shall hurt himselfe thereby, and hee that cutteth wood, shall be in danger thereby.

¹⁰If the yron be blunt, and one hath not whet the edge, he must then put to more strength: but the excellencie to direct a thing is wisedome.

¹¹If the serpent bite, when he is not charmed: no better is a babbler.
