Ecclesiastes 12:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And of other things beside these, my son, take thou heed: for there is none end in making many [a]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.
14 For God will bring every work unto judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or evil.
