Ecclesiastes 7:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Better it is to hear the rebuke of a wise man, than that a man should hear the song of fools.
8 For like the noise of the [a]thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
9 Surely oppression maketh a wise man [b]mad: and the reward destroyeth the heart.
