Ecclesiastes 12:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails [a]fastened by the masters of the assemblies, which are given by one [b]pastor.
12 And of other things beside these, my son, take thou heed: for there is none end in making many [c]books, and much reading is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the end of all: fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
