Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
New American Standard Bible
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 keeps its possessors alive.
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)
