Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 - Epilogue

9 And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yea, he pondered, and sought out, [and] set in order many proverbs. 10 The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written uprightly--words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened [by] the masters of assemblies. They have been given from one shepherd.

12 And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13 [This is] the end of the matter, all has been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments, for this is the whole of man. 14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
