7 I have seen servants ride horseswhile princes walk like servants on foot.
8 Anyone who digs a pit might fall into it;anyone who knocks down a wall might be bitten by a snake;
9 anyone who moves boulders might be hurt by them;and anyone who cuts logs might be harmed by them.
10 A dull ax meansharder work.Being wise will make it easier.
11 If a snake bites the tamer before it is tamed,what good is the tamer?
12 The words of the wise bring them praise,but the words of a fool will destroy them.
13 A fool begins by saying foolish thingsand ends by saying crazy and wicked things.
