Ecclesiastes 7:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and he who has suffered in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

⁹ Do not be hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

¹⁰ Never say, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
