Ecclesiastes 7:9-11
Revised Standard Version
Ecclesiastes 7:9-11
Revised Standard Version
9 Be not quick to anger,
for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.
10 Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
an advantage to those who see the sun.
