Ecclesiastes 7:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger settles in the lap of a fool.
In context
7 Surely extortion turns a wise man into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one.
9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger settles in the lap of a fool.
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is unwise of you to ask about this.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good, and it benefits those who see the sun.
