Solomon wished for his son to be admonished by the words of the wise and scholars, rather than to study too much. But don't the wise and scholars become so through much study, and isn't the role they play one which is commendable to pursue? Why then is it that Solomon seemingly suggests that his son should not study too much?
Ecc 12:11-12
(11) The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.
(12) And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.
