Ecclesiastes 12:9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ And the wiser the preacher was, the more he taught the people knowledge, and caused them to hear, and searched forth, and prepared many parables.

¹⁰ The preacher sought to find out pleasant words, and an upright writing, the words of truth.

¹¹ The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails fastened by the masters of the assemblies, which are given by one pastor.
