Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Don’t ask, “Why was life better in the ‘good old days’?”
    It is not wise to ask such questions.

¹¹ Wisdom is as good to have as inheriting property.
    It helps people see what to do.
¹² Wisdom is like money.
    They both help a person.
But wisdom is better than money,
    because it can save a person’s life.
