Ecclesiastes 7:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ The heart of those who are wise is in the house of mourning,
    but the heart of those who are foolish in the house of feasting.
⁵ It is better to hear the rebuke from a wise man
    than a man listen to the song of fools.
⁶ For like the crackling sound of thorns under a pot,
    so is the mocking laughter of fools.
    And this is also vanity.
