10Koheleth sought to find out acceptable words, and that which would be written down uprightly, even words of truth.
11The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails fastened are the words of the men of the assemblies, which are given by one shepherd.
12But more than all these, my son, take warning for thyself: the making of many books would have no end; and much preaching is a weariness of the flesh.
13The end of the matter is, let us hear the whole: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
