Berean Standard Bible
Ecclesiastes 7:5
“It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke than to listen to the song of fools.”
In context
3Sorrow is better than laughter, for a sad countenance is good for the heart.
5It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke than to listen to the song of fools.
6For like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.
7Surely extortion turns a wise man into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
