15Is the aaxe to bboast itself over the one who chops with it?
Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it?
That would be like ca 1club wielding those who lift it,
Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.

Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,

As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club brandish the one who is not wood!

Does an ax exalt itself
above the one who chops with it?
Does a saw magnify itself
above the one who saws with it?
It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it!
It would be like a staff lifting the one who isn’t wood!

But can the ax boast greater power than the person who uses it?
Is the saw greater than the person who saws?
Can a rod strike unless a hand moves it?
Can a wooden cane walk by itself?

Does the ax boast against the one who cuts with it,
or the saw magnify itself against the one who moves it to and fro?
As if a rod should move the one who lifts it!
As if a staff should lift up that which is not wood!

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.
