Ecclesiastes 7:9-11
International Standard Version
9 Never be in a hurry to become internally angry,
since anger settles down in the lap of fools.
10 Never ask “Why does the past[a] seem so much better than now?”[b]
because this question does not come from wisdom.
11 Wise use of possessions is good;
it brings benefit to the living.[c]
