Ecclesiastes 7:7 BBE

⁵  It is better to take note of the protest of the wise, than for a man to give ear to the song of the foolish.

⁶  Like the cracking of thorns under a pot, so is the laugh of a foolish man; and this again is to no purpose.

⁷  The wise are troubled by the ways of the cruel, and the giving of money is the destruction of the heart.

⁸  The end of a thing is better than its start, and a gentle spirit is better than pride.

⁹  Be not quick to let your spirit be angry; because wrath is in the heart of the foolish.
