Epilogue
9 The Teacher[fn] was full of wisdom, and he taught the people with knowledge. He carefully considered many proverbs and carefully arranged them. 10 The Teacher[fn] sought to find delightful words,[fn] and he wrote[fn] what is upright—truthful words.
11 The words of the wise are like cattle goads; the collections of the sages are like pricks inflicted by one shepherd.[fn] 12 My son, be careful about anything beyond these things.[fn] For the writing of books is endless, and too much studyis wearisome.[fn]
