Ecclesiastes 7:11

New Century Version

Wisdom is better when it comes with money. They both help those who are alive.

See the chapter Copy

“But where can wisdom be found, and where does understanding live?

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

Wise people are rewarded with wealth, but fools only get more foolishness.

Wisdom is worth more than silver; it brings more profit than gold.

Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you could want is equal to it.

Sunshine is sweet; it is good to see the light of day.

I saw that being wise is certainly better than being foolish, just as light is better than darkness.

Don’t ask, “Why was life better in the ‘good old days’?” It is not wise to ask such questions.
