Ecclesiastes 7:11

Tree of Life Version

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, and even better for those who see the sun.

See the chapter Copy

“But where can wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?

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

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

For her trade-value is better than silver, and her yield better than fine gold.

She is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire compares to her.

Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.

I realized that: Wisdom is more beneficial than folly as light is better than darkness.

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
