Ecclesiastes 10:9 in Context — Ecclesiastes 10

7 Vi servos a cavalo, e príncipes que andavam [a pé] como [se fossem] servos sobre a terra.

8 Quem cavar uma cova, nela cairá; e quem romper um muro, uma cobra o morderá.

9 Quem extrai pedras, por elas será ferido; e quem parte lenha, correrá perigo por ela.

10 Se o ferro está embotado, e não afiar o corte, então deve se pôr mais forças; mas a sabedoria é proveitosa para se ter sucesso.

11 Se a cobra morder sem estar encantada, então proveito nenhum tem a fala do encantador.
