* 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 .
