Ecclesiastes 7:7-12 - Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial

⁷ For oppression makes a wise man mad,
And a bribe corrupts the heart.
⁸ The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.
⁹ Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
¹⁰ Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
¹¹ Wisdom along with an inheritance is good
And an advantage to those who see the sun.
¹² For wisdom is protection just as money is protection,
But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
