5The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
6It is better to hear a reproof of a wise man, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
7As the sound of thorns under a cauldron, so is the laughter of fools: this is also vanity.
8for oppression makes a wise man mad, and destroys his noble heart.
9The end of a matter is better than the beginning thereof: the patient is better than the high-minded.
10Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger will rest in the bosom of fools.
