Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

Amplified Bible

¹⁰ 
Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
¹¹ 
Wisdom along with an inheritance is good
And an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun.
¹² 
For wisdom is a protection even as money is a protection,
But the [excellent] advantage of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the lives of its possessors.
