Ecclesiastes 12:8-14

8“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “All is vanity.”

9And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs.

10The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth.

11The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.

12And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.

13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.

14For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.
