Ecclesiastes 7:8

Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial

⁷ Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart. ⁸ Better is the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better is the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit. ⁹ Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools resteth.
