Ecclesiastes 7:8
The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one.
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.
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
