Ecclesiastes 10:8-10

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

9One who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and one who splits logs may be endangered by them.

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