Ecclesiastes 12:8-14

Vanity
<01892>

of vanities
<01892>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the preacher
<06953>_;

all [is] vanity
<01892>_.

And moreover
<03148>_,

because the preacher
<06953>

was wise
<02450>_,

he still taught
<03925> (8765)

the people
<05971>

knowledge
<01847>_;

yea, he gave good heed
<0239> (8765)_,

and sought out
<02713> (8765)_,

[and] set in order
<08626> (8765)

many
<07235> (8687)

proverbs
<04912>_.

{moreover...: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc}

The preacher
<06953>

sought
<01245> (8765)

to find out
<04672> (8800)

acceptable
<02656>

words
<01697>_:

and [that which was] written
<03789> (8803)

[was] upright
<03476>_,

[even] words
<01697>

of truth
<0571>_.

{acceptable...: Heb. words of delight}

The words
<01697>

of the wise
<02450>

[are] as goads
<01861>_,

and as nails
<04930>

fastened
<05193> (8803)

[by] the masters
<01167>

of assemblies
<0627>_,

[which] are given
<05414> (8738)

from one
<0259>

shepherd
<07462> (8802)_.

And further
<03148>_,

by these
<01992>_,

my son
<01121>_,

be admonished
<02094> (8734)_:

of making
<06213> (8800)

many
<07235> (8687)

books
<05612>

[there is] no end
<07093>_;

and much
<07235> (8687)

study
<03854>

[is] a weariness
<03024>

of the flesh
<01320>_.

{study: or, reading}

Let us hear
<08085> (8799)

the conclusion
<05490>

of the whole matter
<01697>_:

Fear
<03372> (8798)

God
<0430>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

his commandments
<04687>_:

for this [is] the whole [duty] of man
<0120>_.

{Let...: or, The end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is}

For God
<0430>

shall bring
<0935> (8686)

every work
<04639>

into judgment
<04941>_,

with every secret thing
<05956> (8737)_,

whether [it be] good
<02896>_,

or whether [it be] evil
<07451>_.
