Ecclesiastes 12:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 The words of the wise are like cattle goads; the collections of the sages are like pricks inflicted by one shepherd.[a] 12 My son, be careful about anything beyond these things.[b] For the writing of books is endless, and too much study is wearisome.[c]
13 Now that all has been heard, here is the final conclusion:
Fear God and obey his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.
