Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 Wisdom along with an inheritance[a] is good. It is an advantage for those who see the sun, 12 because wisdom gives shade as money gives shade, but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom keeps its owner alive.
Keep Your Balance
13 Look at the work of God. Indeed, who can straighten what he has bent?
