NASB
"The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit."
— Ecclesiastes 7:8, NASB
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. ”
“Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”
“The end of a matter is better than its beginning; likewise, patience is better than pride.”
“Oppression troubleth the wise, and shall destroy the strength of his heart.”
“The end of a thing is better than its start, and a gentle spirit is better than pride.”
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”
It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools.
For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is futility.
For oppression makes a wise man mad, And a bribe corrupts the heart.
The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
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.
Wisdom along with an inheritance is good And an advantage to those who see the sun.
