Ecclesiastes 7:11-13

11Wisdom along with an inheritance is good And an 1advantage to those who see the sun.12For 2wisdom is 3protection just as money is 4protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that 5wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.13Consider the 6work of God, For who is 7able to straighten what He has bent?
