Ecclesiastes 9:17

New Century Version

The quiet words of a wise person are better than the shouts of a foolish ruler.

See the chapter Copy

The words of the wise bring them praise, but the words of a fool will destroy them.

It is better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool.

He will not cry out or yell or speak loudly in the streets.

he will not lose hope or give up until he brings justice to the world. And people far away will trust his teachings.”

After the city clerk said these things, he told the people to go home.

because anger will not help you live the right kind of life God wants.
