Ecclesiastes 7:5-7
New International Reader's Version

5 Pay attention to a wise person’s warning.
    That’s better than listening to the songs of those who are foolish.
6 A foolish person’s laughter
    is like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot.
    That doesn’t have any meaning either.

7 When a wise person takes wealth by force, they become foolish.
    It is sinful to take money from people who want special favors.
