Ecclesiastes 7:4-6 New English Translation (NET)

4. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,but the heart of fools is in the house of merrymaking.

5. It is better for a person to receive a rebuke from those who are wisethan to listen to the song of fools.

6. For like the crackling of quick-burning thorns under a cooking pot,so is the laughter of the fool.This kind of folly also is useless.
