Ecclesiastes 10:8-10

81He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a 2serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall.

9He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them.

10If the 3axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must 4exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success.
