Contextual Overview

¹ It is better to have respect than good perfume. The day of death is better than the day of birth. ² It is better to go to a funeral than to a party. We all must die, and everyone living should think about this. ³ Sorrow is better than laughter, and sadness has a good influence on you. ⁴ A wise person thinks about death, but a fool thinks only about having a good time. ⁵ It is better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. ⁶ The laughter of fools is like the crackling of thorns in a cooking fire. Both are useless.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[It is] better to hear the rebuke of the wise,.... To listen to it diligently, receive it cordially, and act according to it; though it may be disagreeable to the flesh, and give present pain, yet the effect and issue will be good, and show that man to be wise that hears it, as well as he that gives it; see Psalms 141:1;

than for a man to hear the song of fools; the vain and impure songs that foolish men sing in the house of mirth; or the flatteries of foolish men, which tickle and please the mind, as music and songs do: or, "than a man that hears the song of fools" i, and is pleased with it.
