Ecclesiastes 7:5-7

Authorized (King James) Version

⁵ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise,
than for a man to hear the song of fools.
⁶ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fool:
this also is vanity.
⁷ Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad;
and a gift destroyeth the heart.
