Ecclesiastes 7:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ ·A wise person thinks about death [The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning],
    but ·a fool thinks only about having a good time [^Lthe heart of fools is in a house of pleasure].
⁵ It is better to ·be criticized by a [hear the rebuke of a] wise person
    than to ·be praised by a fool [^Lhear the song of fools].
⁶ The laughter of fools
    is like the crackling of thorns ·in a cooking fire [^Lunder the pot].
Both are useless [1:2].
