Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance,
an advantage to those who see the sun.(A)
12 For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money,
and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to the one who possesses it.
13 Consider the work of God;
who can make straight what he has made crooked?(B)
Ecclesiastes 7:11-13
New International Version
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing(A)
and benefits those who see the sun.(B)
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:(C)
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?(D)
