Ecclesiastes 7:11

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Wisdom is better if you also have property. Wise people will get more than enough wealth.

See the chapter Copy

It is good to be alive. It is nice to see the light from the sun.

I saw that wisdom is better than foolishness in the same way that light is better than darkness.

Don’t say, “Life was better in the ‘good old days.’ What happened?” Wisdom does not lead us to ask that question.

“But where can anyone find wisdom? Where can we get understanding?

Your teachings are worth more to me than a thousand pieces of silver and gold.

Profit that comes from wisdom is better than silver and even the finest gold.

Wisdom is worth more than fine jewels. Nothing you desire has more value.

A wise person’s reward is wealth, but a fool’s reward is foolishness.
