Wisdom—Although Vulnerable—is Beneficial

Wisdom—Although Vulnerable—is Beneficial

7 and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 is better than its beginning;[fn]
9  for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.
10  For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11 is good with an inheritance;[fn]
12 [fn] But knowledge has an advantage—wisdom restores life to its possessor.

?:? Literally “one who is long of spirit is better than one who is high of spirit”

?:? Literally “to those who see the sun”

?:? Literally “For in the shade of wisdom is the shade of money”
