📖 Read Ecclesiastes 10

◀ Ecc 10:10 Ecc 10:12 ▶

If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.

Context

8He who digs a pit may fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.

9Whoever carves out stones may be injured by them. Whoever splits wood may be endangered by it.

10If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.

11If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.

12The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

13The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

14A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?
