Ecclesiastes 7:5

King James Version

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

Ecclesiastes 7:5

New International Version

⁵It is better to heed the rebuke^(A) of a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools.

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

⁶Like the crackling of thorns^(A) under the pot,
so is the laughter^(B) of fools.
This too is meaningless.
