Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
Young's Literal Translation

7 Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart.

8 Better [is] the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better [is] the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools resteth.

Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
New International Version

7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
    and a bribe(A) corrupts the heart.

8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
    and patience(B) is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked(C) in your spirit,
    for anger resides in the lap of fools.(D)
