Ecclesiastes 7:11

The Scriptures 1998

Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and an advantage to those who see the sun.

See the chapter Copy

And wisdom – where is it found? And where is the place of understanding?

The Torah of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools is folly.

For the gain from it is better Than gain from silver, And its increase than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies, And all your delights are not comparable to her.

Sweet also is the light, and good for the eyes to see the sun;

Then I saw that wisdom is better than folly, as light is better than darkness.

Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not wise of you to have asked about this.
