Ecclesiastes 7:4-6

⁴The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,

but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.

⁵It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke

than to listen to the song of fools.

⁶For like the crackling of thorns under the pot,

so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.
