11. Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
12. For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellence of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
13. Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
14. In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
15. All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
16. Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldst thou destroy thyself?
17. Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldst thou die before thy time?
18. It is good that thou shouldst take hold of this; yes, also from this withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall escape from them all.
19. Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men who are in the city.
