* And moreover , because the Preacher was wise , he still taught the people knowledge ; yes , he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs . * The Preacher sought to find acceptable words ; and what was written was upright--words of truth . * The words of the wise are like goads , and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails , given by one Shepherd . * And further , my son , be admonished by these . Of making many books there is no end , and much study is wearisome to the flesh . * Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter : Fear God and keep His commandments , For this is man 's all . * For God will bring every work into judgment , Including every secret thing , Whether good or evil .
