Ecclesiastes 7:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.
In context
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
5 It is better to heed a wise man’s rebuke than to listen to the song of fools.
6 For like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.
7 Surely extortion turns a wise man into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one.
