Ecclesiastes 7:9


Ecclesiastes 7:8 Ecclesiastes 7:9 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 7:10
Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit.
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
