Ecclesiastes 7:12


Ecclesiastes 7:11 Ecclesiastes 7:12 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 7:13
Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance: and [by it there is] profit to them that see the sun.
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.
Consider the work of God: for who can make [that] straight, which he hath made crooked?
