nail in Ecclesiastes 12
NAYL
This thing shows up in Ecclesiastes 12:11: “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…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Ecclesiastes 12:11
“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.”
