Practical Risks and the Value of Skill
8
He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.
9
Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.
10
If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
11
If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer.
