Ecclesiastes 12:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

¹¹ The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails deeply fastened in, which by the counsel of masters are given from one shepherd.

¹² More than these, my son, require not. Of making many books there is no end: and much study is an affliction of the flesh.
