Ecclesiastes 7:11 Context
9Be not hastie in thy spirit to bee angry: for anger resteth in the bosome of fooles. 10Say not thou, What is the cause that the former dayes were better then these? For thou doest not enquire wisely concerning this. 11¶ Wisedome is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profite to them that see the sunne. 12For wisedome is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellencie of knowledge is, that wisedome giueth life to them that haue it. 13Consider the worke of God: for who can make that straight, which hee hath made crooked?
