If the axe-head should fall off, then the man troubles his countenance, and he must put forth more strength: and in that case skill is of no advantage to a man.

Εαν ο σιδηρος αμβλυνθη και δεν ακονιση τις την κοψιν αυτου, πρεπει να προσθεση δυναμιν· η σοφια δε ειναι ωφελιμος προς διευθυνσιν.
Even in thy conscience, curse not the king; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry thy voice, and that which has wings shall report thy speech.

Μη καταρασθης τον βασιλεα μηδε εν τη διανοια σου· και μη καταρασθης τον πλουσιον εν τω ταμειω του κοιτωνος σου· διοτι πτηνον του ουρανου θελει φερει την φωνην, και το εχον τας πτερυγας θελει αναγγειλει το πραγμα.
