Ecclesiastes 12:13 in Context (Verses 10–14 KJV)

The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.^*

The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.^*

¶ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.^*

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
