Ecclesiastes 10:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 If the iron is blunt and one does not whet the edge,
then more strength must be exerted,
but wisdom helps one to succeed.
11 If the snake bites before it is charmed,
there is no advantage in a charmer.(A)
12 Words spoken by the wise bring them favor,
but the lips of fools consume them.(B)
