Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
New International Reader's Version
11 Wisdom is a good thing.
It’s like getting a share of the family wealth.
It benefits those who live on this earth.
12 Wisdom provides safety,
just as money provides safety.
But here’s the advantage of wisdom.
It guards those who have it.
13 Think about what God has done.
Who can make straight
what he has made crooked?

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