8Better [is] the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better [is] the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit.
9Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools resteth.
10Say not thou, `What was it, That the former days were better than these?` For thou hast not asked wisely of this.
11Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance, And an advantage [it is] to those beholding the sun.
12For wisdom [is] a defense, money [is] a defence, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom [is], She reviveth her possessors.
13See the work of God, For who is able to make straight that which He made crooked?
14In a day of prosperity be in gladness, And in a day of evil consider. Also this over-against that hath God made, To the intent that man doth not find anything after him.
