  1. 10The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.
  2. 11The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

  4. 13This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
  5. 14For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
