Ecclesiastes 12:8-14 (Common English Bible)
View In My BibleMotto and conclusion
8 Perfectly pointless, says the Teacher, everything is pointless. 9 Additionally: Because the Teacher was wise, he constantly taught the people knowledge. He listened and investigated. He composed many proverbs. 10 The Teacher searched for pleasing words, and he wrote truthful words honestly. 11 The words of the wise are like iron-tipped prods; the collected sayings of the masters are like nails fixed firmly by a shepherd.a 12 Be careful, my child, of anything beyond them! There's no end to the excessive production of scrolls. Studying too much wearies the body. 13 So this is the end of the matter; all has been heard. Worship God and keep God's commandments because this is what everyone must do. 14 God will definitely bring every deed to judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or bad.Copyright © 2011 Common English Bible (Common English Bible)
