Ecclesiastes 12:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ The Teacher looked for just the right words. He wrote teachings that are dependable and true.

¹¹ Words from wise men are like sharp sticks used to guide animals. These words are like nails that have been driven in firmly. They are wise teachings that come from God the Shepherd. ¹² So be careful, my son, about other teachings. People are always writing books. And too much study will make you very tired.
