Ecclesiastes 12:9-12

Fear God and Keep His Commandments

9Besides being wise, athe Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging bmany proverbs with great care. 10 cThe Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.

11 dThe words of the wise are like goads, and like enails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are fgiven by gone Shepherd. 12My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making hmany books there is no end, and imuch study is a weariness of the flesh.
