Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
Lexham English Bible

Wisdom—Although Vulnerable—is Beneficial

7 Surely oppression makes a fool of the wise,
    and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
    better to be slow to anger than hot-headed.[a]
9 Do not be quick in your spirit to anger,
    for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.
