Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
9
Besides being wise, the Teacher a also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs.
10
The Teacher b sought to find pleasing words, and he wrote words of truth plainly.
11
The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings that are given by one shepherd. c
12
Of anything beyond these, my child, beware. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for that is the whole duty of everyone.
14
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including d every secret thing, whether good or evil.
