Ecclesiastes 10:8-10 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. If you dig a hole, you might fall into it. If you break down a wall, you might be bitten by a snake.

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.
