Ecclesiastes 7:7-12 - Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial
7 Surely oppression makes a fool of the wise, and a bribe corrupts the heart. 8 The end of a matter [is] better than its beginning; {better to be slow to anger than hot-headed}. 9 Do not be quick in your spirit to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools. 10 Do not say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For [it is] not from wisdom [that] you ask this. 11 Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance; {it benefits the living}. 12 {For wisdom offers protection like money offers protection}. But knowledge [has] an advantage--wisdom restores life to its possessor.
