Ecclesiastes 7:5-7

Darby Translation

⁵ It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise, than to hear the song of fools.

⁶ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

⁷ Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad, and a gift destroyeth the heart.
