Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
New King James Version

10 Do not say,
“Why were the former days better than these?”
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
And profitable (A)to those who see the sun.
12 For wisdom is [a]a (B)defense as money is a defense,
But the [b]excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives (C)life to those who have it.
