Ecclesiastes 7:7-9

⁷ Even wise people are fools
if they let ·money change their thinking [^La bribe distort their understanding].

⁸ It is better to ·finish [end] something
    than to ·start [begin] it.
It is better to be patient
    than to be proud.
⁹ Don’t ·become angry quickly [^Lbe quick to anger in your spirit],
    because ·getting angry is foolish [^Langer resides in the bosom of fools].
