Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 7

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance: and [by it there is] profit to them that see the sun.

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.

Consider the work of God: for who can make [that] straight, which he hath made crooked?
