Ecclesiastes 7:8

Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial

⁷ Unjust gain makes the wise foolish, and a bribe corrupts the heart. ⁸ The conclusion of something is better than its beginning, and a patient attitude is more valuable than a proud one. ⁹ Never be in a hurry to become internally angry, since anger settles down in the lap of fools.
