Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 Wisdom along with an inheritance is good
And an (A)advantage to those who see the sun.
12 For (B)wisdom is [a]protection just as money is [b]protection,
But the advantage of knowledge is that (C)wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
13 Consider the (D)work of God,
For who is (E)able to straighten what He has bent?

Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?(D)
