Ecclesiastes 7:6 CPDV

⁴  Anger is better than laughter. For through the sadness of the countenance, the soul of one who offends may be corrected.

⁵  The heart of the wise is a place of mourning, and the heart of the foolish is a place of rejoicing.

⁶  It is better to be corrected by a wise man, than to be deceived by the false praise of the foolish.

⁷  For, like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so is the laughter of the foolish. But this, too, is emptiness.

⁸  A false accusation troubles the wise man and saps the strength of his heart.
