Ecclesiastes 7:3-6 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

3. Sorrow is better than laughter; it may sadden your face, but it sharpens your understanding.

4. Someone who is always thinking about happiness is a fool. A wise person thinks about death.

5. It is better to have wise people reprimand you than to have stupid people sing your praises.

6. When a fool laughs, it is like thorns crackling in a fire. It doesn't mean a thing.
