Kohelet 7:11-13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹¹ Chochmah is better than a nachalah (inheritance); and by it there is an advantage to them that see the shemesh.

¹² For chochmah is a protective tzel (shade), and kesef is as well; but the advantage of da’as is, that chochmah giveth chayyim (life) to them that possess it.

¹³ Consider the ma’aseh HaElohim; for who can make straight what Hashem hath made crooked?
