Ecclesiastes 7:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in a house of pleasure.
⁵ It is better to listen to rebuke from a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools,^(A)
6 for like the crackling of burning thorns under the pot,^(B)
so is the laughter of the fool.
This too is futile.
