I just finished reading Ecclesiastes in the bible and there were two comments that stood out and puzzled me,
"For when a face is sad a heart may be happy" ch 7:3
"For wisdom is protection just as money is protection" ch 7:12
I am wondering what wisdom is protection from, a barrier agianst what? And what does it mean that a sad face can mean a heart is happy. The only thing that makes me think of is a person that is either lying to themselves or they are decieving others, why have a sad face when you are happy, why not show it?
Sorry I can't find the bible now, so I can't find out which version it is, sorry it must be in here somewhere. I shall never give up!
