Ecclesiastes 7:8

Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial

⁷ Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad, and a gift destroyeth the heart. ⁸ Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; better is a patient spirit than a proud spirit. ⁹ Be not hasty in thy spirit to be vexed; for vexation resteth in the bosom of fools.
