Ecclesiastes 12:8-12
8. "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!"
9. Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people.
He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.
10. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was
upright and true.
11. The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly
embedded nails--given by one Shepherd.
12. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books
there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
