But the1 excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives blife to those who have it.
But in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one1 as well as the other,
So that man can find out nothing that will come after him.
aThere is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.

Ecclesiastes 7:13
Consider the work of God - Such is the nature of his providence, that it puts money into the hands of few: but wisdom is within the reach of all. The first is not necessary to happiness; therefore, it is not offered to men; the latter is; and therefore God, in his goodness, offers it to the whole human race. The former can rarely be acquired, for God puts it out of the reach of most men, and you cannot make that straight which he has made crooked; the latter may be easily attained by every person who carefully and seriously seeks it from God.
