Ecclesiastes10:9
9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith : and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby .
Either 1. The stones which belong to others, and limit or distinguish their Grounds, of which see Deut. 27. 17. Or 2. Great stones too heavy for them. Which rashly attempt things too high and hard for them. Which seems better to agree with the following clause than the former Interpretation doth.
May easily receive hurt by the stones falling unexpectedly and violently upon him.
With an Iron instrument, as the manner is, he being unskilful in that art. Possibly he designs a man who causeth discord and mischief among Friends, or in a Family, or Kingdom
May peradventure cut himself.
