Ecclesiastes 7:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 It is better to finish something than to begin something. A patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.
9 Do not be quick to lose your temper, for outrage is embraced by fools.
10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” Wisdom would not lead you to ask such a question.
