3 Sadness is good for the heart. That's why sorrow is better than laughter.
4 Those who are wise are found where there is sorrow. But foolish people are found where there is pleasure.
5 Pay attention to a wise man'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 man takes wealth by force, he becomes foolish. It is sinful to take money from people who want special favors.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning. So it's better to be patient than proud.
9 Don't become angry quickly. Anger lives in the hearts of foolish people.
