Ecclesiastes
7:7-10
ASV
Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.
7
For oppression makes a wise person look foolish,
And a bribe corrupts the heart.
8
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
Patience of spirit is better than arrogance of spirit.
9
Do not be eager in your spirit to be angry,
For anger resides in the heart of fools.
10
Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
