Ecclesiastes 12:8-10

Young's Literal Translation

⁸ Vanity of vanities, said the preacher, the whole [is] vanity.

⁹ And further, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge, and gave ear, and sought out -- he made right many similes.

¹⁰ The preacher sought to find out pleasing words, and, written [by] the upright, words of truth.
