Ecclesiastes 1:8

8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.

Ecclesiastes 5:1

1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.

Ecclesiastes 7:5

5 It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7:21

21 Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you—

Ecclesiastes 9:16

16 So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.

Ecclesiastes 9:17

17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

Ecclesiastes 12:13

13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
