Ecclesiastes 7:5-7
New King James Version
5 (A)It is better to [a]hear the rebuke of the wise
Than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6 (B)For like the [b]crackling of thorns under a pot,
So is the laughter of the fool.
This also is vanity.
7 Surely oppression destroys a wise man’s reason,
(C)And a bribe [c]debases the heart.
