Ecclesiastes 12:10 Context
8¶ Uanitie of vanities (saith the preacher) all is vanitie. 9And moreouer because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge, yea he gaue good heed, and sought out, and set in order many prouerbes. 10The preacher sought to finde out acceptable words, and that which was written was vpright, euen wordes of trueth. 11The wordes of the wise are as goads, and as nailes fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are giuen from one shepheard. 12And further, by these, my sonne, be admonished: of making many bookes there is no end, and much studie is a wearinesse of the flesh.
