Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
Modern English Version
12 For the protection of wisdom

and the advantage of knowledge is
that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
13 Consider the work of God:
Who is able to make straight

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful,
but in the day of distress consider:
God has made the one
as well as the other.
For this reason man will not be able to understand
anything that comes after him.
Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
New International Version
12 Wisdom is a shelter
as money is a shelter,

Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done:(A)
