⁹ Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught knowledge to the people; he carefully evaluated and arranged many proverbs. ¹⁰ The Teacher sought to find delightful words, and to write accurately truthful sayings. ¹¹ The words of the sages are like prods, and the collected sayings are like firmly fixed nails; they are given by one shepherd. ¹² Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. There is no end to the making of many books, and much study is exhausting to the body. ¹³ Having heard everything, I have reached this conclusion: Fear God and keep his commandments, because this is the whole duty of man. ¹⁴ For God will evaluate every deed, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
