Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

21st Century King James Version

¹⁰ Say not thou, “Why were the former days better than these?” For thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

¹¹ Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

¹² For wisdom is a safeguard, as money is a safeguard, but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
