Ecclesiastes 7:6-8
Lexham English Bible

6 Like the sound of thorns under a pot,
    so also the laughter of fools.
This also is vanity!

Wisdom—Although Vulnerable—is Beneficial

7 Surely oppression makes a fool of the wise,
    and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
    better to be slow to anger than hot-headed.[a]
