Ecclesiastes 7:9-11
Amplified Bible

9 
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger dwells in the heart of fools.(A)
10 
Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
11 
Wisdom along with an inheritance is good
And an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun.
