Ecclesiastes 7:8

7:8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning;

likewise, patience is better than pride.

Ecclesiastes 12:5

12:5 and they are afraid of heights and the dangers in the street;

and the grasshopper drags itself along,

and the caper berry shrivels up –

because man goes to his eternal home,

and the mourners go about in the streets –
