Ecclesiastes 12:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹Sayings from the wise are like cattle prods and well fastened nails; this^[a] masterful collection was given by one shepherd. ¹²So learn from them, my son. There is no end to the crafting of many books, and too much study wearies the body.

¹³Let the conclusion of all of these thoughts be heard:

Fear God and obey his commandments,
for this is what it means to be human.
