New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹The ^(A)words of wise men are like ^(B)goads, and masters of these collections are like ^[a]well-driven ^(C)nails; they are given by one Shepherd. ¹²But beyond this, my son, be warned: the ^[b]writing of ^(D)many books is endless, and excessive ^(E)devotion to books is wearying to the body.
