9 And besides, the preacher was wise; he yet taught the people knowledge; and he gave ear, and sought out, setting in order many parables. 10 The preacher sought to find words: of delight: and that written was straight, words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails planted of the masters of the gatherings; they were given from one shepherd. 12 And besides, from these, my son, beware: of making many books, no end; and much study wearies the flesh. 13 We will hear the end of all the word: Fear thou God, and watch his commands: for this is all man. 14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every thing hidden, whether good, and whether evil.
