Ecclesiastes 7:11

King James 2000

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

For the gain from it is better than the gain from silver, and the profit thereof than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

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

Say you not, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for you do not inquire wisely concerning this.
