Ecclesiastes 7:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ Do not be quick in your spirit to anger,
    for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.
¹⁰ Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?”
    For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
¹¹ Wisdom is good with an inheritance;
    it benefits the living.^[a]
