Ecclesiastes 12:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ The Teacher searched to find appropriate expressions, and what is written here^[a] is right and truthful.

¹¹ Sayings from the wise are like cattle prods and well fastened nails; this^[b] masterful collection was given by one shepherd. ¹² So learn from them, my son. There is no end to the crafting of many books, and too much study wearies the body.
