Ecclesiastes 10:10-12
New King James Version
10 If the ax is dull,
And one does not sharpen the edge,
Then he must use more strength;
But wisdom [a]brings success.
11 A serpent may bite (A)when it is not charmed;
The [b]babbler is no different.
12 (B)The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
But (C)the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;
