| 9 | Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care. | Summing up. Ec.12.0-13 | וְיֹתֵר שֶׁהָיָה קֹהֶלֶת חָכָם עֹוד לִמַּד־דַּעַת אֶת־הָעָם וְאִזֵּן וְחִקֵּר תִּקֵּן מְשָׁלִים הַרְבֵּה׃ |
| 10 | The Preacher sought to find pleasing words, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. | בִּקֵּשׁ קֹהֶלֶת לִמְצֹא דִּבְרֵי־חֵפֶץ וְכָתוּב יֹשֶׁר דִּבְרֵי אֱמֶת׃ | |
| 11 | The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings which are given by one Shepherd. | דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים כַּדָּרְבֹנֹות וּכְמַשְׂמְרֹות נְטוּעִים בַּעֲלֵי אֲסֻפֹּות נִתְּנוּ מֵרֹעֶה אֶחָד׃ | |
| 12 | My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. | וְיֹתֵר מֵהֵמָּה בְּנִי הִזָּהֵר עֲשֹׂות סְפָרִים הַרְבֵּה אֵין קֵץ וְלַהַג הַרְבֵּה יְגִעַת בָּשָׂר׃ | |
| 13 | The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. | סֹוף דָּבָר הַכֹּל נִשְׁמָע אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים יְרָא וְאֶת־מִצְוֹתָיו שְׁמֹור כִּי־זֶה כָּל־הָאָדָם׃ | |
| 14 | For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil. | כִּי אֶת־כָּל־מַעֲשֶׂה הָאֱלֹהִים יָבִא בְמִשְׁפָּט עַל כָּל־נֶעְלָם אִם־טֹוב וְאִם־רָע׃ | |
