The words of the wise are like goads,
And words of the scholars are like well-driven nails, given by One Shepherd.
And further, my son be admonished by these.
Of making many books there is no end,
And much study is wearisome to the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s All.
For God will bring every work into judgement,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.
THESE ARE UPRIGHT WORDS OF TRUTH.
BUY THE TRUTH AND SELL IT NOT.
