Ecclesiastes 12:10 in Context — Ecclesiastes 12

8 Futilidade das futilidades! - diz o pregador - Tudo é futilidade.

9 Além do Pregador ter sido sábio, ele também ensinou conhecimento ao povo. Ele ouviu, investigou e pôs em ordem muitos provérbios.

10 O Pregador procurou achar palavras agradáveis, e escreveu coisas corretas, palavras de verdade.

11 As palavras dos sábios são como aguilhões, e como pregos bem fixados [pelos] mestres das congregações, [que] foram dadas pelo único Pastor.

12 Além destas coisas, filho meu, tem cuidado; fazer muitos livros é [algo que] não tem fim; e estudar muito cansa a carne.
