Ecclesiastes 10:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

⁹ He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them.

¹⁰ If the iron be blunt, and be not as before, but be made blunt, with much labour it shall be sharpened: and after industry shall follow wisdom.
