Ecclesiastes 7:10-13

¹⁰Say not, What has happened, that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire in wisdom concerning this.

¹¹Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and there is an advantage by it to them that see the sun.

¹²For wisdom in its shadow is as the shadow of silver: and the excellence of the knowledge of wisdom will give life to him that has it.

¹³Behold the works of God: for who shall be able to straighten him whom God has made crooked?
