Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

And moreover
<03148>_,
because the preacher
<06953>
was wise
<02450>_,
he still taught
<03925> (8765)
the people
<05971>
knowledge
<01847>_;
yea, he gave good heed
<0239> (8765)_,
and sought out
<02713> (8765)_,
[and] set in order
<08626> (8765)
many
<07235> (8687)
proverbs
<04912>_.
{moreover...: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc}
The preacher
<06953>
sought
<01245> (8765)
to find out
<04672> (8800)
acceptable
<02656>
words
<01697>_:
and [that which was] written
<03789> (8803)
[was] upright
<03476>_,
[even] words
<01697>
of truth
<0571>_.
{acceptable...: Heb. words of delight}
The words
<01697>
of the wise
<02450>
[are] as goads
<01861>_,
and as nails
<04930>
fastened
<05193> (8803)
[by] the masters
<01167>
of assemblies
<0627>_,
[which] are given
<05414> (8738)
from one
<0259>
shepherd
<07462> (8802)_.
And further
<03148>_,
by these
<01992>_,
my son
<01121>_,
be admonished
<02094> (8734)_:
of making
<06213> (8800)
many
<07235> (8687)
books
<05612>
[there is] no end
<07093>_;
and much
<07235> (8687)
study
<03854>
[is] a weariness
<03024>
of the flesh
<01320>_.
{study: or, reading}
Let us hear
<08085> (8799)
the conclusion
<05490>
of the whole matter
<01697>_:
Fear
<03372> (8798)
God
<0430>_,
and keep
<08104> (8798)
his commandments
<04687>_:
for this [is] the whole [duty] of man
<0120>_.
{Let...: or, The end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is}
For God
<0430>
shall bring
<0935> (8686)
every work
<04639>
into judgment
<04941>_,
with every secret thing
<05956> (8737)_,
whether [it be] good
<02896>_,
or whether [it be] evil
<07451>_.
