4. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5. It is better to hear the rebuke of the wiseThan for a man to hear the song of fools.
6. For like the crackling of thorns under a pot,So is the laughter of the fool.This also is vanity.
7. Surely oppression destroys a wise man’s reason,And a bribe debases the heart.
