10 Then I tried to explain these things in the best and most accurate way.
11 Words of wisdom are like the stick a farmer uses to make animals move. These sayings come from a shepherd, and they are like nails that fasten things together.
12 My child, I warn you to stay away from any teachings except these.There is no end to books,and too much studywill wear you out.

14 God will judgeeverything we do,even what is done in secret,whether good or bad.
