Ecclesiastes 10:4-10

4If the spiritH7307 of the rulerH4910 risethH5927 against thee, leaveH3240 not thy placeH4725; for yieldingH4832 pacifiethH3240 greatH1419 offencesH2399. 5There isH3426 an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, as an errorH7684 which proceedethH3318 fromH6440 the rulerH7989:1 6FollyH5529 is setH5414 in greatH7227 dignityH4791, and the richH6223 sitH3427 in low placeH8216.2 7I have seenH7200 servantsH5650 upon horsesH5483, and princesH8269 walkingH1980 as servantsH5650 upon the earthH776. 8He that diggethH2658 a pitH1475 shall fallH5307 into it; and whoever breakethH6555 an hedgeH1447, a serpentH5175 shall biteH5391 him. 9Whoever removethH5265 stonesH68 shall be hurtH6087 by them; and he that cuttethH1234 woodH6086 shall be endangeredH5533 by it. 10If the ironH1270 is bluntH6949, and he doth not whetH7043 the edgeH6440, then must he useH1396 more strengthH2428: but wisdomH2451 is profitableH3504 to directH3787.
