Ecclesiastes 7:7-9

21st Century King James Version

⁷ Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad, and a bribe destroyeth the heart.

⁸ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

⁹ Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
