Ecclesiastes 7:5-7

The Voice

⁵     It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
        than a song written by fools,
⁶     For the laughter of fools is like
        the hiss and crackle of burning thorns beneath a pot.
    This, too, is fleeting.
⁷     Oppression can turn the wise into fools,
        and a bribe can damage the noblest heart.
