Ecclesiastes 7:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning;
    but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
⁵ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
    than to hear the song of fools.
⁶ For like the crackling of thorns under a pot,
    so is the laughter of fools;
    this also is vanity.
