Ecclesiastes 7:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Do not be quick to anger,
for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.(A)
10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance,
an advantage to those who see the sun.(B)
