Ecclesiastes 7:4-6

4The 1mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the 2mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.5It is better to 3listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools.6For as the 4crackling of 5thorn bushes under a pot, So is the 6laughter of the fool; And this too is futility.
