Ecclesiastes 7:6
King James Version
“For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so the laughter of the fool: this also vanity.”
Context
3Sorrow better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4The heart of the wise in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools in the house of mirth.
5better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so the laughter of the fool: this also vanity.
7Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
8Better the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: the patient in spirit better than the proud in spirit.
9Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
