'Ax' in the Bible

For instance, he may have accompanied his friend to go to a forest to cut trees. Then he swung his axe to cut some wood, but the ax head flew off the handle and hit his friend, so that he died. The killer may flee to one of these cities to live.

"When you attack a city and have to fight against it for many days, don't destroy its trees by cutting them down with an ax. You may eat from them, but you must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human beings, that you would come and attack them?

Take out the spear and the ax to confront the one who pursues me; say to me, "I am your deliverer!"

As one blazes a trail through a forest with an ax,

If someone's ax is blunt the edge isn't sharpened then more strength will be needed. Putting wisdom to work will bring success.

"Does the ax exalt itself over the one who swings it? Or does the saw magnify itself in opposition to the one who wields it? As if a rod were to wield those who lift it, or as if a club were to brandish the one who is not wood!

He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon will fall by the Majestic One."

For the practices of the people are worthless. Indeed, a tree is cut down from the forest; it's the work of the hands of a craftsman with an ax.

The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree that isn't producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
