Ecclesiastes 12:12

It is interesting to compare several translations of this much-quoted scripture:
"Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh"  NRSV
"Be warned that writing books involves endless hard work, and that much study wearies the body."  Jerusalem Bible
"The use of books is endless, and much study is wearisome." New English Bible
"There is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever, and become very exhausting!"  Living Bible
"There is no end to the writing of books, and too much study will wear you out."  Today's English Version

I could go on, but I am getting a bit wearied myself.
