Ecclesiastes 7:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 It is better to be criticized by the wise
than praised by the foolish.
6 The laughter of fools is such a waste.
It is like thorns burning under a pot.
The thorns burn so quickly
that the pot does not get hot.[a]
7 Even the wise will forget their wisdom,
if someone pays them enough.
That money destroys their understanding.
