Ecclesiastes 10:8 Context
6Folly is set in great dignitie; and the rich sit in lowe place. 7I haue seene seruants vpon horses, and princes walking as seruants vpon the earth. 8He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it; and who so breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 9Who so remoueth stones, shall be hurt therewith: and hee that cleaueth wood, shalbe endangered thereby. 10If the yron be blunt, and he doe not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisedome is profitable to direct.
