Ecclesiastes 7:8-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
8
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
Patience of spirit is better than arrogance of spirit.
9
Do not be eager in your spirit to be angry,
For anger resides in the heart of fools.
10
Do not say, 'Why is it that the former days were better than these?'
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
11
Wisdom along with an inheritance is good,
And an advantage to those who see the sun.
King James Version
Chapter 7
8
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
9
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
10
Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
11
Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
8
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.
9
Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry,
for anger abides in the heart of fools.
10
Don’t say, "Why were the former days better than these?"
since it is not wise of you to ask this.
11
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance
and an advantage to those who see the sun,
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
8
Finishing is better than starting.
Patience is better than pride.
9
Control your temper,
for anger labels you a fool.
10
Don’t long for 'the good old days.'
This is not wise.
11
Wisdom is even better when you have money.
Both are a benefit as you go through life.
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
8
Better is the end of a thing than its beginning,
and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
9
Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the heart of fools.
10
Say not, "Why were the former days better than these?"
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
11
Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
an advantage to those who see the sun.
New International Version
Chapter 7
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.
10
Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?"
For it is not wise to ask such questions.
11
Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing
and benefits those who see the sun.
New King James Version
Chapter 7
8
The end of a thing
is
better than its beginning;
The patient in spirit
is
better than the proud in spirit.
9
Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,
For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
10
Do not say,
“Why were the former days better than these?”
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.
11
Wisdom
is
good with an inheritance,
And profitable to those who see the sun.
