Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

New Life Version

¹⁰ Do not say, “Why were the days of the past better than these?” For it is not wise to ask this. ¹¹ Wisdom with a gift passed down from father to son is good and a help to those who see the sun. ¹² For wisdom keeps one from danger just as money keeps one from danger. But the good thing about much learning is that wisdom keeps alive those who have it.
