3Grief is better than laughter, for after sadness of face comes gladness of heart.
4The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of feasting.
5It is better to listen to the rebuke of the wise than to listen to the song of fools.
6For like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so also is the laughter of fools. This, too, is vapor.
7Extortion certainly makes a wise man foolish, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
