A Word of Caution

Ecclesiastes 12:12

Showing verse 12 with surrounding context.

Not only was Kohelet wise, he also taught the people what he knew; also he weighed, researched and corrected many ethical sayings.

Kohelet worked to develop an attractive writing style, in which he expressed the truth straightforwardly.

The sayings of the wise are as sharp as goads, and those given by leaders of assemblies are like well-fixed nails; [in this case,] they are presented by a single shepherd.

In addition, my son, take heed: one can write many books - there's no end to it; and one can study so much that it wearies the flesh.

Here is the final conclusion, now that you have heard everything: fear God, and keep his mitzvot; this is what being human is all about.

For God will bring to judgment everything we do, including every secret, whether good or bad. [Here is the final conclusion, now that you have heard everything: fear God, and keep his mitzvot; this is what being human is all about.]
