For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.

Wisdom keeps a man from danger even as money does; but the value of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to its owner.

Διοτι η σοφια ειναι σκεπη, ως ειναι σκεπη το αργυριον· πλην η υπεροχη της γνωσεως ειναι, οτι η σοφια ζωοποιει τους εχοντας αυτην.

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.
