Ecclesiastes 7:5-7

21st Century King James Version

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

⁶ For as is 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 bribe destroyeth the heart.
