THIS HAS GREAT RESOURCES FOR BIBLE STUDY. 

 

The verse Ecclesiastes 10:10 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible reads:

 

"If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct."

 

This verse uses a metaphor to convey a message about the importance of wisdom and preparation. Let's break it down:

 

1. "If the iron be blunt": This refers to a dull axe or tool.

 

2. "And he do not whet the edge": If the person doesn't sharpen the edge of the tool.

 

3. "Then must he put to more strength": The person will have to use more effort and energy to accomplish the task.

 

4. "But wisdom is profitable to direct": Wisdom, in contrast, is beneficial for guidance and efficiency.

 

The overall meaning of this verse is that it's wise to prepare properly for a task rather than relying solely on brute force or increased effort. Just as it's more efficient to sharpen an axe before cutting wood, it's better to approach any task or challenge with wisdom and proper preparation.

 

This verse encourages people to work smarter, not just harder. It emphasizes the value of wisdom in guiding our actions and making our efforts more effective and efficient.

 

This makes sense to me. Does this make sense to you?
