Ecclesiastes 7:11
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good, and it benefits those who see the sun.
In context
9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger settles in the lap of a fool.
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is unwise of you to ask about this.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good, and it benefits those who see the sun.
12 For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
13 Consider the work of God: Who can straighten what He has bent?
