¿Se gloriará el hacha contra el que con ella corta? ¿O se ensoberbecerá la sierra contra el que la mueve? ¡Como si el báculo levantase al que lo levanta; como si la vara levantase al que no es palo!
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? {or} shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake {itself} against them that lift it up, {or} as if the staff should lift up {itself, as if it were} no wood. {the rod...: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if...: or, that which is not wood}
