Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
American Standard Version
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire [a]wisely concerning this. 11 Wisdom [b]is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
