What does Ecclesiastes 10:8-15 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babblerd is no better.
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious;e but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talkf is mischievous madness.
A fool also is fullg of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
