Ecclesiastes 7:8-10

Young's Literal Translation

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.

¹⁰ Say not thou, `What was it, That the former days were better than these?' For thou hast not asked wisely of this.
