Ecclesiastes 7:3-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. Sadness is good for the heart. That's why sorrow is better than laughter.

4. Those who are wise are found where there is sorrow. But foolish people are found where there is pleasure.

5. Pay attention to a wise man's warning. That's better than listening to the songs of those who are foolish.

6. A foolish person's laughter is like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot. That doesn't have any meaning either.
