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.
Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
New International Version
7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
and a bribe(A) corrupts the heart.
