Ecclesiastes 10:10 Kabbalah: Or Neerav

אִם־קֵהָ֣ה הַבַּרְזֶ֗ל וְהוּא֙ לֹא־פָנִ֣ים קִלְקַ֔ל וַחֲיָלִ֖ים יְגַבֵּ֑ר וְיִתְר֥וֹן הכשיר [הַכְשֵׁ֖ר] חָכְמָֽה׃

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

Or Neerav

[My soul weeps] in secret places for your pride (Jer. 13:17) and is faint all the day (Lam. 1:13). The altar of the wicked is an abomination (Prov. 21:27). Yet despite this, many waters cannot quench love (Song 8:7), for upright are the ways of the Lord (Hos. 14:10). He will judge the poor of the people (Ps. 72:4), He will establish peace (Isa. 26:12). When He speaks He will overcome the mighty (Eccles. 10:10) for His people and His pious ones.
