Ecclesiastes 7:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools.

⁶ The laughter of the fool is as the crackling of thorns under a pot, and this also (the laughter or prosperity of the fool) is vanity.

⁷ ¶ Surely oppression makes a wise man mad, and a gift destroys the heart.
