Ecclesiastes 7:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit (pride).
9
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger dwells in the heart of fools.(A)
10
Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
