Ecclesiastes 7:6

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

5 It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke than to listen to the song of fools.

For like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.

7 Surely extortion turns a wise man into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.

8 The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one.
