Ecclesiastes 12:10 in Context — Ecclesiastes 12
8 avant que le cordon d’argent se détache, que le vase d’or se brise, que le seau se rompe sur la source, et que la roue se casse sur la citerne;
9 avant que la poussière retourne à la terre, comme elle y était, et que l’esprit retourne à Dieu qui l’a donné.
10 Vanité des vanités, dit l’Ecclésiaste, tout est vanité.
11 Outre que l’Ecclésiaste fut un sage, il a encore enseigné la science au peuple, et il a examiné, sondé, mis en ordre un grand nombre de sentences.
12 L’Ecclésiaste s’est efforcé de trouver des paroles agréables; et ce qui a été écrit avec droiture, ce sont des paroles de vérité.
