Ecclesiastes 12:10

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.

In context

8 “Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile!”

9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught the people knowledge; he pondered, searched out, and arranged many proverbs.

10 The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the anthologies of the masters are like firmly embedded nails driven by a single Shepherd.

12 And by these, my son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.
