Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
American Standard Version
7 [a]Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroyeth the understanding. 8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be [b]angry; for [c]anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
