Ecclesiastes 7:2-6
Ecclesiastes 7:2
It is better to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every person, And the living takes it to heart.
Ecclesiastes 7:3
Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
Ecclesiastes 7:4
The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.
Ecclesiastes 7:5
It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise person Than for one to listen to the song of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:6
For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is futility.
