Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 ▼

9 (12:10) The preacher was yet more wyse, and taught the people knowledge, he gaue good heede, sought out the ground, and set foorth many parables:

10 His diligence was to finde out acceptable wordes, right scripture, & the wordes of trueth.

11 For the wordes of the wyse are like prickes and nayles that go thorowe, of the auctoures of gatheringes which are geuen of one shephearde.

12 Therefore beware my sonne of that doctrine that is beside this: for to make many bookes, it is an endlesse worke, and to muche studie weerieth the body.

13 Let vs heare the conclusion of all thinges, Feare God, and kepe his commaundementes: for that toucheth all men.

14 (12:13) For God shall iudge all workes and secrete thinges, whether they be good or euyll.
