Parallel
Ecclesiastes 7:12
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
For wisdom is a defence (note: Heb. shadow), and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
