Ecclesiastes 7:11

Modern King James Version

Wisdom is good with an inheritance; but it is gain to those who 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 to me than thousands of gold and silver.

The crown of the wise is their riches of wisdom; the foolishness of fools is folly.

For the profit from it is better than the gain from silver, and its produce more than fine gold;

she is more precious than rubies; and all the things you can desire are not to be compared with her.

Also 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.

Do not say, Why was it that the former days were better than these? For you do not ask wisely in regard to this.
