Ecclesiastes 7:9-11
New American Standard Bible

9 Do not be [a](A)eager in your spirit to be angry,
For anger resides in the [b]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.
11 Wisdom along with an inheritance is good,
And an (B)advantage to those who see the sun.
