Ecclesiastes 7:9-11

American Standard Version

⁹ Be not hasty in thy spirit to be ^[a]angry; for ^[b]anger resteth in the bosom of fools. ¹⁰ Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire ^[c]wisely concerning this. ¹¹ Wisdom ^[d]is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.
