כִּ֥י הָעֹ֖שֶׁק יְהוֹלֵ֣ל חָכָ֑ם וִֽיאַבֵּ֥ד אֶת־לֵ֖ב מַתָּנָֽה׃
Sebab penindasan membuat orang berhikmat menjadi gila, dan pemberian suap membinasakan hati.
Ecclesiastes
For as the sound of the thorns [crackling] under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool [("crackling" with self-importance)]. And this, too, [(the "toil" of contending with the fools)] is a vanity [(relegated to men by G-d)].
