Ecclesiastes 7:5-9

It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise person Than for one to listen to the song of fools.

For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is futility.

For oppression makes a wise person look foolish, And a bribe corrupts the heart.

The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than arrogance of spirit.

Do not be eager in your spirit to be angry, For anger resides in the heart of fools.
