Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ Do not say, ‘Everything was a lot better in the past.’
    Those are not wise thoughts.
¹¹ It is good to have wisdom,
    like money that you receive from your father.
    Wisdom helps everyone who lives.
¹² Both wisdom and money can keep you safe.
    But wisdom is better.
If you are wise, your knowledge can save your life.
