King James Version
Ecclesiastes 7:4-6
4The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 is in the houseH1004 of mourningH60; but the heartH3820 of foolsH3684 is in the houseH1004 of mirthH8057.
5It is betterH2896 to hearH8085 the rebukeH1606 of the wiseH2450, than for a manH376 to hearH8085 the songH7892 of foolsH3684.
6For as the cracklingH6963 of thornsH5518 under a potH5518, so is the laughterH7814 of the foolH3684: this also is vanityH1892.1
