Ecclesiastes 7:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 7
4 O coração dos sábios está na casa do luto, mas o coração dos tolos [está] na casa da alegria.
5 Melhor é ouvir a repreensão do sábio do que alguém ouvir a canção dos tolos;
6 Pois o riso dos tolos é como o ruído de espinhos debaixo de uma panela; também isto é futilidade.
7 Verdadeiramente a opressão faz até o sábio enlouquecer, e o suborno corrompe o coração.
8 Melhor é o fim das coisas do que o princípio delas; melhor é o paciente de espírito do que o arrogante de espírito.
