Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
Names of God Bible

10 Don’t ask, “Why were things better in the old days than they are now?” It isn’t wisdom that leads you to ask this!

Wisdom Gives Life

11 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. It is an advantage to everyone who sees the sun. 12 Wisdom protects us just as money protects us, but the advantage of wisdom is that it gives life to those who have it.

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.
