Ecclesiastes 7:11

Contemporary English Version 1995

Having wisdom is better than an inheritance.

See the chapter Copy

Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun.

And I discovered that wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness.

It isn't wise to ask, “Why is everything worse than it used to be?”

But where is wisdom found?

I would rather obey you than to have a thousand pieces of silver and gold.

Wisdom is worth more than silver; it makes you much richer than gold.

Wisdom is more valuable than precious jewels; nothing you want compares with her.

Wisdom can make you rich, but foolishness leads to more foolishness.
