Ecclesiastes 7:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ ¶ Surely oppression makes a wise man mad, and a gift destroys the heart.

⁸ Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and he who has suffered in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

⁹ Do not be hasty in thy spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
