Ecclesiastes 7:12

King James Version

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.
New King James Version

For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.
New American Standard Bible

For wisdom is protection (in a shadow) just as money is protection (in a shadow). But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
New International Version

Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor.
The Amplified Bible

For wisdom is a defense even as money is a defense, but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the life of him who has it.
