Ecclesiastes 7:9
King James Version
“Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.”
Context
6For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so the laughter of the fool: this also vanity.
7Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
8Better the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: the patient in spirit better than the proud in spirit.
9Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
10Say not thou, What is that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
11Wisdom good with an inheritance: and profit to them that see the sun.
12For wisdom a defence, money a defence: but the excellency of knowledge wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
