Ecclesiastes 7:9

Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial

⁸ The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.
⁹ Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry,
for anger abides in the heart of fools.
¹⁰ Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?”
since it is not wise of you to ask this.
