Douay Rheims Bible For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence : but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them.
King James Bible - Ecclesiastes 7:12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
World English Bible For 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.

Early Christian Commentary - (A.D. 100 - A.D. 325) Anf-03 vi.vii.xiv Pg 4 Job. See Job i. and ii. —whom neither the driving away of his cattle nor those riches of his in sheep, nor the sweeping away of his children in one swoop of ruin, nor, finally, the agony of his own body in (one universal) wound, estranged from the patience and the faith which he had plighted to the Lord; whom the devil smote with all his might in vain. For by all his pains he was not drawn away from his reverence for God; but he has been set up as an example and testimony to us, for the thorough accomplishment of patience as well in spirit as in flesh, as well in mind as in body; in order that we succumb neither to damages of our worldly goods, nor to losses of those who are dearest, nor even to bodily afflictions. What a bier9171 9171 “Feretrum”—for carrying trophies in a triumph, the bodies of the dead, and their effigies, etc. for the devil did God erect in the person of that hero! What a banner did He rear over the enemy of His glory, when, at every bitter message, that man uttered nothing out of his mouth but thanks to God, while he denounced his wife, now quite wearied with ills, and urging him to resort to crooked remedies! How did God smile,9172 9172 Anf-02 vi.iv.i.xi Pg 26.1 Anf-01 ix.iv.xviii Pg 2 Isa. xi. 2. as I have already said. And again: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me.”3615 3615
Anf-01 ix.iv.xviii Pg 14 Isa. xi. 2. This Spirit, again, He did confer upon the Church, sending throughout all the world the Comforter from heaven, from whence also the Lord tells us that the devil, like lightning, was cast down.3625 3625
Anf-02 vi.iv.v.xv Pg 11.2
Anf-03 iv.ix.ix Pg 63 See Isa. xi. 1, 2, especially in LXX. For to none of men was the universal aggregation of spiritual credentials appropriate, except to Christ; paralleled as He is to a “flower” by reason of glory, by reason of grace; but accounted “of the root of Jesse,” whence His origin is to be deduced,—to wit, through Mary.1306 1306
Anf-03 v.iv.iv.xvii Pg 11 Isa. xi. 1, 2. Now to no man, except Christ, would the diversity of spiritual proofs suitably apply. He is indeed like a flower for the Spirit’s grace, reckoned indeed of the stem of Jesse, but thence to derive His descent through Mary. Now I purposely demand of you, whether you grant to Him the destination3335 3335 Intentionem. of all this humiliation, and suffering, and tranquillity, from which He will be the Christ of Isaiah,—a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, who was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and who, like a lamb before the shearer, opened not His mouth;3336 3336
Anf-03 v.iv.vi.xvii Pg 16 Isa. xi. 2. He likewise will grant “the enlightenment of the eyes of the understanding,”5962 5962 Anf-03 iv.ix.ix Pg 27 Oehler refers to Isa. xix. 1. See, too, Isa. xxx. and xxxi. So, again, Babylon, in our own John, is a figure of the city Rome, as being equally great and proud of her sway, and triumphant over the saints.1273 1273 Anf-01 ix.vi.xxxiv Pg 62 Ps. xlv. 3, 4. And whatever other things of a like nature are spoken regarding Him, these indicated that beauty and splendour which exist in His kingdom, along with the transcendent and pre-eminent exaltation [belonging] to all who are under His sway, that those who hear might desire to be found there, doing such things as are pleasing to God. Again, there are those who say, “He is a man, and who shall know him?”4303 4303
Anf-01 viii.iv.xxxviii Pg 0
Anf-02 iv.ii.ii.x Pg 3.1
Anf-02 vi.iv.vi.xv Pg 5.1
Anf-03 iv.ix.ix Pg 34 Ps. xlv. 4 (xliv. 5 in LXX.). Who will ply the sword without practising the contraries to lenity and justice; that is, guile, and asperity, and injustice, proper (of course) to the business of battles? See we, then, whether that which has another action be not another sword,—that is, the Divine word of God, doubly sharpened1279 1279
Anf-03 v.iv.iv.xiv Pg 6 Ps. xlv. 4. But who shall produce these results with the sword, and not their opposites rather—deceit, and harshness, and injury—which, it must be confessed, are the proper business of battles? Let us see, therefore, whether that is not some other sword, which has so different an action. Now the Apostle John, in the Apocalypse, describes a sword which proceeded from the mouth of God as “a doubly sharp, two-edged one.”3290 3290
Anf-03 v.iv.iv.xiv Pg 12 Ps. xlv. 4, but changed. even the might of Thy spiritual grace, whereby the knowledge of Christ is spread. “Thine arrows are sharp;”3296 3296 Anf-02 vi.iv.ii.xviii Pg 27.1
Lifetimes viii.vi Pg 15.1
