Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 - Epilogue
9 Besides that, the Proclaimer being wise, - still further taught knowledge unto the people, and weighed and searched, arranged proverbs in abundance. 10 The Proclaimer sought to find out words giving delight, and to note down rightly, the words of truth. 11 The words of the wise, are as goads, yea, as driven nails, their well-ordered sayings, - given from one shepherd.
12 And besides, from them, my son, be admonished, - Of making many books, there is no end, and, much study, is a weariness of the flesh. 13 The conclusion of the matter - the whole, let us hear, - Towards God, be reverent, and, his commandments, observe, for, this, concerneth all mankind. 14 For, every work, will God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, - whether good, or evil.
