Ecclesiastes 12:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ Besides being wise, Ecclesiastes taught the people knowledge, and he weighed, collected, and arranged many proverbs. ¹⁰ Ecclesiastes searched to find just the right words. What was written was honest—they were true words. ¹¹ Sayings of wise men are like cattle prods, and those sayings collected by experts are like firmly fixed nails, given by one Shepherd.
