The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૧૨:૧૧
જ્ઞાની માણસનાં વચનો આર જેવાં છે અને સભાશિક્ષકોનાં વચનો કે જે એક પાળક દ્વારા આપવામાં આવેલાં છે, તે સજ્જડ જડેલા ખીલાના જવાં છે.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक १२:११
बुद्धिमानों के वचन पैनों के समान होते हैं, और सभाओं के प्रधानों के वचन गाड़ी हुई कीलों के समान हैं, क्योंकि एक ही चरवाहे की ओर से मिलते हैं।

In context

9Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

10The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.

11The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

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

13This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
