8 It is all vanity, says the Preacher;all is vanity.
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.
12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness to the flesh.
13 Now all has been heard.Let us hear the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments,for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,including every secret thing,whether good or evil.
