KJV : Shall the axe <01631> boast <06286> (8691) itself against him that heweth <02672> (8802) therewith? [or] shall the saw <04883> magnify <01431> (8691) itself against him that shaketh <05130> (8688) it? as if the rod <07626> should shake <05130> (8687) [itself] against them that lift it up <07311> (8688), [or] as if the staff <04294> should lift up <07311> (8687) [itself, as if it were] no wood <06086>. {the rod...: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if...: or, that which is not wood}NASB : Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it? Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it? \i1 That would be\i0 like a club wielding those who lift it, \i1 Or\i0 like a rod lifting \i1 him who\i0 is not wood.NASB# : Is the axe<1631> to boast<6286> itself over<5921> the one who chops<2672> with it?
