Ecclesiastes 7:5

World English Bible (WEB)

"It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools."

About Ecclesiastes

A reflection on the meaning of life and finding purpose in God.

Old Testament • Book #21

Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made good.

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.
