Ecclesiastes 7:9

Wisdom'Although Vulnerable'Is Beneficial

⁸ The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.
⁹ Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
¹⁰ Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
