Ecclesiastes 7:9-12

⁹Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad: and the rewarde destroyeth the heart.

¹⁰The ende of a thing is better then the beginning thereof, and the pacient in spirit is better then the proude in spirit.

¹¹Be not thou of an hastie spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosome of fooles.

¹²Say not thou, Why is it that the former dayes were better then these? for thou doest not enquire wisely of this thing.
