Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes 12 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

9 And whereas Ecclesiastes was most wise, he taught the people, and declared the things that he had done: and searching forth made many parables.

10 He sought profitable words, and wrote words most right, and full of truth.

11 The words of wisemen are as pricks, and as nails deeply strucken in, which by the counsel of masters are given of one pastor.

12 More than these my son require not. Of making many books there is no end: and often meditation is affliction of the flesh.

13 Let us all hear together the end of speaking. Fear God, and observe his commandments: for this is every man:

14 and all things that are done, God will bring into judgement for every error, whether it be good or evil.
