Ecclesiastes 9:17

God's Word

One should pay more attention to calm words from wise people than shouting from a ruler of fools.

See the chapter Copy

Whoever criticizes people will be more highly regarded in the future than the one who flatters with his tongue.

A wise person’s words win favors, but a fool’s lips are self-destructive.

It is better to listen to wise people who reprimand you than to fools who sing your praises.

He will not cry out or raise ⌞his voice⌟. He will not make his voice heard in the streets.

He will not be discouraged or crushed until he has set up justice on the earth. The coastlands will wait for his teachings.

After saying this, he dismissed the assembly.

An angry person doesn’t do what God approves of.
