Ecclesiastes 7:8-10

World English Bible

⁸ Better is the end of a thing than its beginning.

The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. ⁹ Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools. ¹⁰ Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this.
