Ecclesiastes 7:7-10
7SurelyH3588 extortionH6233 turns a wise manH2450 into a foolH1984, and a bribeH4979 corruptsH6 the heartH3820.8The endH319 of a matterH1697 is betterH2896 than the beginningH7225, and a patientH750 spiritH7307 is betterH2896 than a proudH1364 one.
9Do notH408 be quicklyH926 provokedH3707 in your spiritH7307,forH3588 angerH3708 settlesH5117 in the lapH2436 of a foolH3684.110Do notH408 sayH559, “WhyH4100 wereH1961 the oldH7223H1961 daysH3117 betterH2896 than theseH428?”ForH3588 it is unwiseH3808H2451 of you to askH7592 aboutH5921 thisH2088.
