Ecclesiastes 12:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² So, son, study these sayings, but be careful about other teachings. People are always writing books, and too much study will make you very tired.

^13-14 Now, what should we learn from everything that is written in this book?^[a] The most important thing a person can do is to respect God and obey his commands, because he knows about everything people do—even the secret things. He knows about all the good and all the bad, and he will judge people for everything they do.
