Ecclesiastes 10:10 (100.00%)

If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.

If the iron H1270 be blunt H6949 (8765), and he do not whet H7043 (8773) the edge H6440, then must he put H1396 (8762) to more strength H2428: but wisdom H2451 [is] profitable H3504 to direct H3787 (8687).

If the iron hath been blunt, And he the face hath not sharpened, Then doth he increase strength, And wisdom is advantageous to make right.

But-each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
