Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
New Living Translation

10 Don’t long for “the good old days.”
    This is not wise.

11 Wisdom is even better when you have money.
    Both are a benefit as you go through life.
12 Wisdom and money can get you almost anything,
    but only wisdom can save your life.

Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
New International Version

10 Do not say, “Why were the old days(A) better than these?”
    For it is not wise to ask such questions.

11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing(B)
    and benefits those who see the sun.(C)
12 Wisdom is a shelter
    as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
    Wisdom preserves those who have it.
