3Better is sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the face the heart becometh better.
4The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a house of mirth.
5Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than for a man to hear a song of fools,
6For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So is the laughter of a fool, even this is vanity.
7Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart.
