Ecclesiastes 7:9 YLT

⁷  Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart.

⁸  Better 'is' the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better 'is' the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit.

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

¹⁰  Say not thou, 'What was it, That the former days were better than these?' For thou hast not asked wisely of this.

¹¹  Wisdom 'is' good with an inheritance, And an advantage 'it is' to those beholding the sun.
