Verse of the Week 7/28: Ecclesiastes 7:12

NRSV: For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to the one who possesses it.


CEB: Wisdom’s protection is like the protection of money; the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.


The NRSV is the New Revised Standard Version, which is the academic standard for biblical translation. The Common English Bible is a more accessible translation. Both are approved for use during worship in the Episcopal Church.
