Ecclesiastes 7:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
4 El corazón de los sabios, en la casa del luto; mas el corazón de los insensatos, en la casa del placer.
5 Mejor es oir la reprensión del sabio, que la canción de los necios.
6 Porque la risa del necio es como el estrépito de las espinas debajo de la olla. Y también esto es vanidad.
7 Ciertamente la opresión hace enloquecer al sabio: y el presente corrompe el corazón.
8 Mejor es el fin del negocio que su principio: mejor es el sufrido de espíritu que el altivo de espíritu.
