Ecclesiastes 7:5

3  Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

4  The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

5  It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6  For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

7  Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
