Ecclesiastes 7:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶The laughter of fools
is like the crackling of thorns ·in a cooking fire [^Lunder the pot].
Both are useless [1:2].

⁷Even wise people are fools
if they let ·money change their thinking [^La bribe distort their understanding].

⁸It is better to ·finish [end] something
than to ·start [begin] it.
It is better to be patient
than to be proud.
