Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
International Standard Version
Avoiding the Evils of Life
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[a] is more valuable than a proud one.[b]
9 Never be in a hurry to become internally angry,
since anger settles down in the lap of fools.
