Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

Darby Translation

¹⁰ Say not, How is it that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

¹¹ Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, and profitable to them that see the sun.

¹² For wisdom is a defence [as] money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, [that] wisdom maketh them that possess it to live.
