Ecclesiastes 12:11-13

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹¹ The words of the wise are as goads and as nails hammered into place, those of the teachers of the congregations, who are placed under one Shepherd.

¹² My son, in addition to this, be admonished: of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

¹³ ¶ The conclusion of the entire sermon is heard: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole happiness of man.
