Ecclesiastes 12:9-11

Modern English Version

Epilogue

⁹ And in addition to being wise, the Preacher still taught the people knowledge, and he considered, sought out, and arranged many proverbs. ¹⁰ And the Preacher sought to discover words of delight, and to write in uprightness words of truth.

¹¹ The words of the wise are like goads, and the collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails, given by one shepherd.
