Ecclesiastes 10:10-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
10
If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen
its
edge, then he must exert
more
strength. Wisdom
has
the advantage of bringing success.
11
If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no benefit for the charmer.
King James Version
Chapter 10
10
If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom
is
profitable to direct.
11
Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
10
If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen its edge, then one must exert more strength; however, the advantage of wisdom is that it brings success.
11
If the snake bites before it is charmed, then there is no advantage for the charmer.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
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?
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
10
If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed.
11
If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage to the charmer.
New International Version
Chapter 10
10
If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success.
11
If a snake bites before it is charmed, the charmer receives no fee.
New King James Version
Chapter 10
10
If the ax is dull,
And one does not sharpen the edge,
Then he must use more strength;
But wisdom brings success.
11
A serpent may bite when
it is
not charmed;
The babbler is no different.
