Ecclesiastes 10:4-10

4IfH518 the spiritH7307 of the rulerH4910 riseH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 thee, leaveH3240 notH408 thy placeH4725; for yielding allayeth greatH1419 offences.

5There is an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 underH8478 the sunH8121, as it were an errorH7684 which proceedeth from the rulerH7989:

6follyH5529 is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignity, and the richH6223 sitH3427 in lowH8216 placeH5414.

7I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 uponH5921 horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 as servantsH5650 uponH5921 the earthH776.

8He that diggeth a pitH1475 shall fallH5307 intoH5307 it; and whoso breaketh throughH6555 a fenceH1447, a serpentH5175 shall bite him.

9Whoso heweth outH5265 stonesH68 shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth woodH6086 is endangeredH5533 thereby.

10IfH518 the ironH1270 be blunt, and one doH518 notH3808 whet the edgeH6440, then mustH518 he put to moreH3808 strengthH2428: but wisdomH2451 is profitable to direct.
