Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance;
it benefits the living.[a]
12 For wisdom offers protection like money offers protection.[b]
But knowledge has an advantage—wisdom restores life to its possessor.
Humans Must Accept God’s Will and Make the Best of It
13 Consider the work of God.
For who is able to make straight what he made crooked?
