Ecclesiastes 12:9-11 ▼

9 Moreover, besides being wise himself, the Teacher taught people what he had learned by listening, making inquiries, and composing many proverbs.

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

11 Sayings from the wise are like cattle prods and well fastened nails; this masterful collection was given by one shepherd.
