Ecclesiastes 7:5-7

Young's Literal Translation

⁵ Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than [for] a man to hear a song of fools,

⁶ For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So [is] the laughter of a fool, even this [is] vanity.

⁷ Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart.
