קהלת פרק יב 8-14 – פרשנות לספר קהלת

⁸ הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים אָמַר הַקּוֹהֶלֶת הַכֹּל הָבֶל׃ ⁹ וְיֹתֵר שֶׁהָיָה קֹהֶלֶת חָכָם; עוֹד, לִמַּד־דַּעַת אֶת־הָעָם, וְאִזֵּן וְחִקֵּר, תִּקֵּן מְשָׁלִים הַרְבֵּה׃ ¹⁰ בִּקֵּשׁ קֹהֶלֶת, לִמְצֹא דִּבְרֵי־חֵפֶץ; וְכָתוּב יֹשֶׁר דִּבְרֵי אֱמֶת׃ ¹¹ דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים כַּדָּרְבֹנוֹת, וּכְמַשְׂמְרוֹת נְטוּעִים בַּעֲלֵי אֲסֻפּוֹת; נִתְּנוּ מֵרֹעֶה אֶחָד׃ ¹² וְיֹתֵר מֵהֵמָּה בְּנִי הִזָּהֵר; עֲשׂוֹת סְפָרִים הַרְבֵּה אֵין קֵץ, וְלַהַג הַרְבֵּה יְגִעַת בָּשָׂר׃ ¹³ סוֹף דָּבָר הַכֹּל נִשְׁמָע; אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים יְרָא וְאֶת־מִצְוֹתָיו שְׁמוֹר, כִּי־זֶה כָּל־הָאָדָם׃ ¹⁴ כִּי אֶת־כָּל־מַעֲשֶׂה, הָאֱלֹהִים יָבִא בְמִשְׁפָּט עַל כָּל־נֶעְלָם; אִם־טוֹב וְאִם־רָע׃

12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

12:9 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.

12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
