Ecclesiastes 12:10
Compare all
8 “Vanitya of vanities,” says the Preacher,
“All is vanity.”  

The Whole Duty of Man

9 And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and aset in order many proverbs.  
10 The Preacher sought to find1 acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth.  
11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of1 scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.  
12 And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and amuch study is wearisome to the flesh.  
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
aFear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all. 
14 For aGod will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.

Ecclesiastes 12:10

He sought to find out acceptable words - dibrey chephets , words of desire, words of will; the best, the most suitable words; those which the people could best understand. But these words were not such as might merely please the people; they were words of truth; such as came from God, and might lead them to him.
