Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
Haitian Creole Bible 1985
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: Eske yon rach ka pretann travay li fè a se li ki fè l'? Se pa moun k'ap sèvi avè l' la ki fè l'? Eske yon goyin ka mache di sa l' fè a se li ki fè l'? Moun k'ap sèvi avè l' la pou anyen nan sa l'ap fè a? Se tankou si se fwèt la k'ap kòmande moun ki kenbe l' nan men l' lan, tankou si se baton an k'ap sèvi ak moun ki genyen l' nan men l' lan.
Clementine Vulgate 1598
Numquid gloriabitur securis contra eum qui secat in ea? aut exaltabitur serra contra eum a quo trahitur? Quomodo si elevetur virga contra elevantem se, et exaltetur baculus, qui utique lignum est.
Bible in Basic English
Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.
French: Bible J.N. Darby
– La cognée se glorifiera-t-elle contre celui qui s’en sert ? La scie s’élèvera-t-elle contre celui qui la manie ? Comme si la verge faisait mouvoir ceux qui la lèvent, comme si le bâton levait celui qui n’est pas du bois !
Czech Kralická Bible 1613
Zdaliž se bude sekera velebiti nad toho, kdož ní seká? Zdaliž se honositi bude pila nad toho, kdož ní tře? Jako by se zpínala metla proti tomu, kdož by ji zdvihl; jako by se chlubila hůl, že není dřevem.

Acaso o machado se gloriará contra aquele que corta com ele? A serra se exaltará contra aquele que a maneja? Como se a vara levantasse aqueles que a erguem, ou como se o bordão levantasse alguém que não é madeira.
Romanian BTF Bible
Se va făli toporul împotriva celui ce taie cu el? Sau fierăstrăul se va mări împotriva celui care îl scutură? De parcă nuiaua ar trebui să scuture împotriva celor care o ridică, sau toiagul s-ar ridica, de parcă nu ar fi lemn.
