Verse 11
"The words of the wise are as goads; and as nails well fastened are the words of the masters of assemblies, which are given from one Shepherd."
"In the Old Testament, the word Shepherd usually refers to God";[40] and a good rendition is this, "The words of the wise ... have been given by God, the one shepherd of us all."[41] This is a very important verse, because here Solomon recognizes the Word of God as the ultimate authority. How far has this wise man come from the doubts and sins of former days! "He says here that it is the teachings of the masters of assemblies, drawn from the fountainhead (the Word of God the one Shepherd), which give stability and strength to life."[42]
