Ecclesiastes 7:8 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The end — The good or evil of things is better known by their end, than by their beginning. The patient — Who quietly waits for the issue of things. The proud — Which he puts instead of hasty or impatient, because pride is the chief cause of impatience.

Ecclesiastes 7:8

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
