Ecclesiastes 7:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ Better to listen to the rebuke of the wise
    than for a man to listen to the song of fools.
⁶ Like the sound of thorns under a pot,
    so also the laughter of fools.
This also is vanity!

⁷ Surely oppression makes a fool of the wise,
    and a bribe corrupts the heart.
