For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
King James Version (KJV) - Ecclesiastes 7:12 >For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence: but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Berean Study Bible (BSB) - Ecclesiastes 7:12 >For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
