Ecclesiastes 9:17

New International Version

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

See the chapter Copy

Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue.

Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.

It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.

He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.

he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”

After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.

because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
