Matthew Poole and continuators on Ecclesiastes 7:11

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun .

i. e. Very good; the Positive being put for the Superlative, as it is frequently in the Hebrew Text. When Wisdom and Riches meet in one man, it is an happy conjunction; for Wisdom without Riches is commonly contemned, Eccles. 9. 16. and wants opportunities and instruments of discovering itself, and of doing that good in the world which it is both able and willing to do; and Riches without Wisdom are like a Sword in a mad Mans Hand, an occasion of much sin and mischief, both to himself and others.

By Wisdom joined with Riches there comes great benefit. Heb. and it is an excellency, or priviledge, or advantage.

i. e. To mortal men, not only to a Mans self, but to many others who live with him in this world. Whereby also he intimates that Riches bear no price, and have no use in the other world.
