Ecclesiastes 2:13

¹¹Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more excellent for those who see the sun. ¹²For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

⁸For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

⁷Truly the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.

²³But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

³⁴The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. ³⁵Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

¹⁰⁵Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.

¹⁸But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day. ¹⁹The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

⁵Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth. ⁶Don’t forsake her, and she will preserve you. Love her, and she will keep you. ⁷Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

¹³⁰The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.
