Contextual Overview

¹¹ Wysdome with inheritaunce is good, yet better is it with them that without care may beholde the sunne: ¹² For wysdome defendeth aswell as money, and the excellent knowledge & wysdome geueth lyfe vnto hym that hath it in possession. ¹³ Consider the worke of God, how that no man can make the thing straight, whiche he maketh crooked. ¹⁴ Use well the tyme of prosperitie, and remember the tyme of misfortune: for God doth so temper the one and the other, that a man can finde nothing els. ¹⁵ All thinges haue I considered in the time of my vanitie: that the iust man perisheth for his righteousnesse sake, & the vngodly liueth in his wickednesse. ¹⁶ Therfore be thou neither to righteous nor ouer wyse, that thou perishe not. ¹⁷ Be neither to vnrighteous also nor to foolishe, lest thou die before thy time. ¹⁸ It is good for thee to take holde of this, and not to let that go out of thy hande: For he that feareth God, commeth foorth with them all. ¹⁹ Wysdome geueth more courage vnto the wyse, then ten mightie men of the citie. ²⁰ For there is not one iust vpon earth that doth good, and sinneth not.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance,.... It is good of itself. Or, "is as good as an inheritance" n, as it may be rendered; it is a portion of itself, especially spiritual and divine wisdom. The Targum interprets it, the wisdom of the law, or the knowledge of that; but much more excellent is the wisdom of the Gospel, the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom; the knowledge of which, in an experimental way, is preferable to all earthly inheritances: but this with an inheritance is good, yea, better than without one; for wisdom, without riches, is generally overlooked and despised in men; see Ecclesiastes 9:16; when wealth, with wisdom, makes a man regarded; this commands respect and attention; as well as he is in a better condition to do good, if willing to share, and ready to distribute;

and [by it there is] profit to them that see the sun; mortals in this present state, who are described as such that see the sun rise and set, and enjoy the heat and light of it, receive much advantage from men who are both wise and rich: or, "and [it is] an excellency to them that see the sun"; it is an excellency to mortals and what gives them superiority to others, that they have both wisdom and riches.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And by it there is profit ... - literally, And is profitable to the living. The same word as in Ecclesiastes 6:11, to the question in which it looks like an answer.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ecclesiastes 7:11. Wisdom is good with an inheritance — In this chapter Solomon introduces many observations which appear to be made by objectors against his doctrine; and as he was satisfied of their futility, he proposes them in their own full strength, and then combats and destroys them. It is quite necessary to attend to this; else we shall take the objector's words for those of Solomon; and think, as some have done, that the wise man contradicts and refutes himself. Observations, reflections, and objections of friends and adversaries are frequently introduced in the works of ancient authors, without mentioning them as such. This is frequent, more particularly in ethic writers; and we have many specimens in Horace; and without this distinction, it would be impossible to make sense of some of his writings. Here, an objector, who had listened to the wise man declaiming in favour of wisdom, suddenly interrupts him, and says in effect, "I grant the truth of what you have said. Wisdom is very good in its place; but what is it without property? A man who has a good inheritance may be profited by wisdom, because it will show him how to manage it to the best advantage."
