Ecclesiastes 12:11
Thomson 1808
The words of the wise are like goads and nails ready made, which have been laid up in repositories from one shepherd to another. What remaineth of them, my son, keep thou. There is no end of making many books. And much study is a weariness to the flesh.
Brenton 1851
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails firmly fastened, which have been given from one shepherd by agreement.
Greek · Brenton
Λόγοι σοφῶν ὡς τὰ βούκεντρα, καὶ ὡς ἧλοι πεφυτευμένοι, οἳ παρὰ τῶν συνθεμάτων ἐδόθησαν ἐκ ποιμένος ἑνός.
