Ecclesiastes 7:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 Foolish laughter is stupid.
It sounds like thorns
crackling in a fire.
7 Corruption[a] makes fools
of sensible people,
and bribes can ruin you.
8 Something completed is better
than something just begun;
patience is better
than too much pride.
Footnotes
- 7.7 Corruption: Or “Oppression.”
