Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Say not thou, Why is it that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire [a]wisely of this thing.
13 Wisdom is good with an [b]inheritance, and excellent to them that see the sun.
14 For man shall rest in the shadow of wisdom, and in the shadow of silver: but the excellency of the knowledge of wisdom giveth life to the possessors thereof.
