Ecclesiastes 10:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ If you are moving large stones, you might be hurt by them. If you cut down a tree, you are in danger of it falling on you.

¹⁰ But wisdom will make any job easier. It is very hard to cut with a dull knife. But if you sharpen the knife, the job is easier.

¹¹ Someone might know how to control snakes. But that skill is useless if a snake bites when that person is not around.
