Ecclesiastes 7:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹ Do not be quick to anger,
    for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.
¹⁰ Do not say, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’
    For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
¹¹ Wisdom is as good as an inheritance,
    an advantage to those who see the sun.
