Ecclesiastes 7:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
¹⁰ Do not say, ‘Everything was a lot better in the past.’
    Those are not wise thoughts.
