Ecclesiastes 7:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ If a wise person cheats people,
    he becomes a fool.
If you accept a bribe,
    you will no longer think properly.
⁸ If you finish some work,
    that is better than to start something new.
It is better to be patient than to be proud.
⁹ Control your angry thoughts.
    Only fools allow their anger to continue.
