New International Version (NIV) |
|
12 But, my child, be warned: There is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever and become very exhausting!
|
12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
|
|
13 Here is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person.
|
13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man.
|
|
14 God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.
|
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
