Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
New Century Version

7 Even wise people are fools
    if they let money change their thinking.

    than to start it.
It is better to be patient
    than to be proud.
9 Don’t become angry quickly,
    because getting angry is foolish.

    and patience(B) is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked(C) in your spirit,
    for anger resides in the lap of fools.(D)
