Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁰ Don’t ask why the old days were better than now,
because that is a foolish question.
¹¹ Wisdom is good, along with possessions,
an advantage to all who see the sun.
¹² For wisdom is a shelter,
and money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is
that wisdom keeps the one who has it alive.
