King James Version
"For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity."
— Ecclesiastes 7:6, King James Version
“For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. ”
“For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.”
“For like the crackling of quick-burning thorns under a cooking pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This kind of folly also is useless.”
“It is better to be rebuked by a wise man, than to be deceived by the flattery of fools.”
“Like the cracking of thorns under a pot, so is the laugh of a foolish man; and this again is to no purpose.”
“For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.”
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
