Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

12 Wisdom with riches is more profitable, and bringeth more advantage to them that see the sun.

13 For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them.

14 Consider the works of God, that no man can correct whom he hath despised.

Ecclesiastes 7:12-14
New International Version

12 Wisdom is a shelter
    as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
    Wisdom preserves those who have it.

13 Consider what God has done:(A)

Who can straighten
    what he has made crooked?(B)
14 When times are good, be happy;
    but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
    as well as the other.(C)
Therefore, no one can discover
    anything about their future.
