Concluding Epilogue: Qoheleth’s Advice is Wise

9 Not only was the Teacher wise,

but he also taught knowledge to the people;

he carefully evaluated and arranged many proverbs.

10 The Teacher sought to find delightful words,

and to write accurately truthful sayings.

11 The words of the sages are like prods,

and the collected sayings are like firmly fixed nails;

they are given by one shepherd.
