Conclusion

Ecc 12:9–14

12:9 Conclusion

9 Besides the fact that the leader was wise, he still taught the people knowledge, and he searched and evaluated. He arranged and edited many proverbs. 10 The leader searched for pleasing words, and wrote down many truthful words that would lead to godliness.

11 The words of wise people can prod others along,

and they’re like nails holding things firm.

They’re all given by one shepherd.

12 My son, be careful of anything in addition to these,

because there’s no end to producing books

and too much study wears you out.

13 So after listening to everything, here’s the final conclusion:

Respect God and strive to follow him and obey his commands,

because that’s humanity’s whole duty.

14 Yes, God will judge everything we do

including everything that’s been hidden

whether good or bad.
