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?

11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing(A)
and benefits those who see the sun.(B)

as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done:(C)
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?(D)

Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
King James Version
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
