“All things are to no purpose, says the Preacher, all is to no purpose. And because the Preacher was wise he still gave the people knowledge; searching out, testing, and putting in order a great number of wise sayings. The Preacher made search for words which were pleasing, but his writing was in words upright and true. The words of the wise are pointed, and sayings grouped together are like nails fixed with a hammer; they are given by one guide. And further, my son, take note of this: of the making of books there is no end, and much learning is a weariness to the flesh. This is the last word. All has been said. Have fear of God and keep his laws; because this is right for every man. God will be judge of every work, with every secret thing, good or evil.”
