This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Whoso removeth stones; either,
1. The stones which belong to others, and limit or distinguish their grounds, of which see Deu_27:17. Or,
2. Great stones too heavy for them; which rashly attempt things too high and hard for them; which seems better to agree with the following clause than the former interpretation doth.
Shall be hurt therewith; may easily receive hurt by the stones falling unexpectedly and violently upon him.
He that cleaveth wood, with an iron instrument, as the manner is, he being unskilful in that art. Possibly he designs a man who causeth discord and mischief among friends, or in a family, or kingdom.
Shall be endangered thereby; may peradventure cut himself.
