New Testament

Ecclesiastes 7:6-9 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

6. Like the crackling of thorns under the pot,so is the laughter of fools.This too is meaningless.

7. Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,and a bribe corrupts the heart.

8. The end of a matter is better than its beginning,and patience is better than pride.

9. Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,for anger resides in the lap of fools.
