Ecclesiastes 12:9 in Context — Ecclesiastes 12
7 Y el polvo se torne á la tierra, como era, y el espíritu se vuelva á Dios que lo dió.
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.
