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