Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰ Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
¹¹ Wisdom along with an inheritance is good
And an ^(A)advantage to those who see the sun.
¹² For ^(B)wisdom is a ^(C)shadow of protection as money is a shadow of protection,
And the advantage of knowledge is that ^(D)wisdom preserves the lives of its masters.
