Ecclesiastes 7:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ For the wise person thinks carefully when in mourning,
    but fools focus their thoughts on pleasure.
⁵ It is better to listen to a wise person’s rebuke
    than to listen to the praise^[a] of fools.
⁶ For as thorns burn to heat a pot,
    so also is the laughter of the fool—
        even this is pointless.
