Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance;
it benefits the living.[a]
12 For wisdom offers protection like money offers protection.[b]
But knowledge has an advantage—wisdom restores life to its possessor.
