7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

7:16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

7:17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
