Ecclesiastes 12:11
Berean Standard Bible
The words of the wise are like goads, and the anthologies of the masters are like firmly embedded nails driven by a single Shepherd.*
Context
9Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught the people knowledge; he pondered, searched out, and arranged many proverbs. 10The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.* 11The words of the wise are like goads, and the anthologies of the masters are like firmly embedded nails driven by a single Shepherd.* 12And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body. 13When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.
