Ecclesiastes 12:11-13
American Standard Version

11 The words of the wise are as goads; and as nails well fastened are the words of the [a]masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 12 [b]And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13 [c]This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for [d]this is the whole duty of man.
