Ecclesiastes 7:9-11

Tree of Life Version

⁹ Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,^[a]
    for anger settles in the bosom of fools.
¹⁰ Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
    For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
¹¹ Wisdom is as good as an inheritance,
    and even better for those who see the sun.
