Ecclesiastes 7:9-12

⁹Do not be quick to anger in your spirit, for anger resides in the hearts of fools.

¹⁰Do not say, “Why were the days of old better than these?” For it is not because of wisdom that you ask this question.

¹¹Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good. It benefits those who see the sun.

¹²For wisdom provides protection as money can provide protection, but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to whoever has it.
