Ecclesiastes 7:8DRA

6For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so the laughter of the fool: this also vanity.

7Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

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

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

10Say not thou, What is that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
