Ecclesiastes 7:4-6
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 7:4-6
New International Version
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.(A)
5 It is better to heed the rebuke(B) of a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools.
6 Like the crackling of thorns(C) under the pot,
so is the laughter(D) of fools.
This too is meaningless.

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