Ecclesiastes 12:10 in Context — Ecclesiastes 12

8 Vanidad de vanidades, dijo el Predicador, todo vanidad.

9 Y cuanto más sabio fué el Predicador, tanto más enseñó sabiduría al pueblo; é hizo escuchar, é hizo escudriñar, y compuso muchos proverbios.

10 Procuró el Predicador hallar palabras agradables, y escritura recta, palabras de verdad.

11 Las palabras de los sabios son como aguijones; y como clavos hincados, [las] de los maestros de las congregaciones, dadas por un Pastor.

12 Ahora, hijo mío, á más de esto, sé avisado. No hay fin de hacer muchos libros; y el mucho estudio aflicción es de la carne.
