Ecclesiastes 12:9 BBE

⁷  And the dust goes back to the earth as it was, and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.

⁸  All things are to no purpose, says the Preacher, all is to no purpose.

⁹  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.

¹⁰  The Preacher made search for words which were pleasing, but his writing was in words upright and true.

¹¹  The words of the wise are pointed, and sayings grouped together are like nails fixed with a hammer; they are given by one guide.
