Ecclesiastes 12:11

Epilogue

¹⁰ The Teacher sought to find delightful words, and he wrote what is upright--truthful words. ¹¹ The words of the wise [are] like cattle goads; the collections of the sages [are] like pricks inflicted by one shepherd. ¹² My son, be careful {about anything beyond these things}. For the writing of books is endless, and too much study {is wearisome}.
