Ecclesiastes 12:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ The Preacher sought to find ^(A)delightful words and to write ^(B)words of truth correctly.

¹¹ The ^(C)words of wise men are like ^(D)goads, and masters of these collections are like ^[a]well-driven ^(E)nails; they are given by one Shepherd. ¹² But beyond this, my son, be warned: the ^[b]writing of ^(F)many books is endless, and excessive ^(G)devotion to books is wearying to the body.
