¹¹ Wisdom is as good as an inheritance
and an advantage to those who see the sun,
¹² because wisdom is protection as money is protection,
and the advantage of knowledge
is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.^(A)

¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner can destroy much good.^(A)

¹⁰ If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen its edge,
then one must exert more strength;
however, the advantage of wisdom is that it brings success.
