And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 12 of Ecclesiastes. The epilogue describes Qohelet as someone who sought to arrange and communicate proverbs and words of truth. The image of the words of the wise as goads and firmly fixed nails highlights their ability to provoke reflection and establish teachings. Finally, the human duty is summarized: fear God and keep his commandments, because God will bring every deed into judgment. The book thus ends by integrating its exploration of transience with moral responsibility and divine reverence.

Outre que l'Ecclésiaste fut un sage, il a encore enseigné la science au peuple, et il a examiné, sondé, mis en ordre un grand nombre de sentences.

E, quanto mais sábio foi o pregador, tanto mais ensinou ao povo sabedoria; e atentando, e esquadrinhando, compôs muitos provérbios.
