Kohelet 7:9-11
Orthodox Jewish Bible
9 Be not hasty in thy ruach to be angry; for ka’as (anger) resteth in the kheyk (bosom) of kesilim.
10 Say thou not, What is the cause that the yamim harishonim were better than these? For it is not because of chochmah that thou dost inquire concerning this.
11 Chochmah is better than a nachalah (inheritance); and by it there is an advantage to them that see the shemesh.
