Ecclesiastes 10:9-15 New Living Translation (NLT)

9. When you work in a quarry,stones might fall and crush you.When you chop wood,there is danger with each stroke of your ax.

10. Using a dull ax requires great strength,so sharpen the blade.That’s the value of wisdom;it helps you succeed.

11. If a snake bites before you charm it,what’s the use of being a snake charmer?

12. Wise words bring approval,but fools are destroyed by their own words.

13. Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions,so their conclusions will be wicked madness;

14. they chatter on and on.No one really knows what is going to happen;no one can predict the future.

15. Fools are so exhausted by a little workthat they can’t even find their way home.
