Ecclesiastes 7:10-12

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁰ Say not thou, `What was it, That the former days were better than these?' For thou hast not asked wisely of this.

¹¹ Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance, And an advantage [it is] to those beholding the sun.

¹² For wisdom [is] a defense, money [is] a defence, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom [is], She reviveth her possessors.
