Ecclesiastes 12:9-14
9Not onlyH3148 wasH1961 the TeacherH6953 wiseH2450, but he alsoH5750 taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledgeH1847; he ponderedH239, searched outH2713, and arrangedH8626 manyH7235 proverbsH4912. 10The TeacherH6953 searchedH1245 to findH4672 delightfulH2656 sayingsH1697 and to recordH3789 accurateH3476 wordsH1697 of truthH571.1
11The wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450 are like goadsH1861, and the anthologiesH627 of the mastersH1167 are like firmly embeddedH5193 nailsH4930 drivenH5414 by a singleH259 ShepherdH7462.2 12And by these, my sonH1121, be furtherH3148 warnedH2094: There is noH369 endH7093 to the makingH6213 of manyH7235 booksH5612, and muchH7235 studyH3854 weariesH3024 the bodyH1320.
13When allH3605 has been heardH8085, the conclusionH5490 of the matterH1697 is this: FearH3372 GodH430 andH853 keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687, becauseH3588 this isH2088 the wholeH3605 duty of manH120. 14ForH3588 GodH430 will bringH935 everyH3605 deedH4639 into judgmentH4941, along withH5921 every hiddenH5956 thingH3605, whetherH518 goodH2896 orH518 evilH7451.
