Ecclesiastes:12:9-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And because the Preacher was wise above others ,
so it was that he taught man excellent knowledge ,
and the ear will trace out the parables .
*
The Preacher sought diligently to find out acceptable words ,
and a correct writing ,
even words of truth .
*
The words of the wise are as goads ,
and as nails firmly fastened ,
which have been given from one shepherd by agreement .
*
And moreover ,
my son ,
guard thyself by means of them :
of making many books there is no end ;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh .
*
Hear the end of the matter ,
the sum :
Fear God ,
and keep his commandments :
for this is the whole man .
*
For God will bring every work into judgement ,
with everything that has been overlooked ,
whether it be good ,
or whether it be evil .
