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?

Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
New International Version
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)
