Ecclesiastes 7:12
Berean Standard Bible
For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
Context
10Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
For it is unwise of you to ask about this. 11Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good,
and it benefits those who see the sun. 12For wisdom, like money, is a shelter,
and the advantage of knowledge
is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner. 13Consider the work of God:
Who can straighten what He has bent? 14In the day of prosperity, be joyful,
but in the day of adversity, consider this:
God has made one of these along with the other,
so that a man cannot discover
anything that will come after him.
