Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
New International Version

10 Do not say, “Why were the old days(A) better than these?”
    For it is not wise to ask such questions.

11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing(B)
    and benefits those who see the sun.(C)
12 Wisdom is a shelter
    as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
    Wisdom preserves those who have it.

Ecclesiastes 7:10-12
King James Version

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
