Ecclesiastes 10:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 The one who quarries stones may be hurt by them;
the one who splits trees may be endangered by them.
10 If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen its edge,
then one must exert more strength;
however, the advantage of wisdom is that it brings success.
11 If the snake bites before it is charmed,(A)
then there is no advantage for the charmer.[a]
