Ecclesiastes 10:5-10 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. Some things rulers do are terribly unfair:

6. they honour fools, but dishonour the rich;

7. they let slaves ride on horses, but force slave owners to walk.

8. If you dig a pit,you might fall in;if you break down a wall,a snake might bite you.

9. You could even get hurtby chiselling a stoneor chopping a log.

10. If you don't sharpen your axe,it will be harder to use;if you are clever,you'll know what to do.
