Ecclesiastes 7:11-13

11 Wisdom is better if you also have property. Wise people[a] will get more than enough wealth. 12 Wisdom and money can protect you. But knowledge gained through wisdom is even better—it can save your life.
13 Look at what God has made. You cannot change a thing, even if you think it is wrong.
