Ecclesiastes 7:11

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more excellent for those who see the sun.

See the chapter Copy

*But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?

The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

The crown of the wise is their riches, but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.

For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.

Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

Don't say, *Why were the former days better than these?* For you do not ask wisely about this.
