Ecclesiastes 7:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
than to hear the song of fools.(A)
6 For like the crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of fools;
this also is vanity.
