Ecclesiastes 7:8

Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial

⁷ Surely oppression makes a wise man mad, and a gift destroys the heart. ⁸ The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.
⁹ Do not be hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
