Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² It is better to go to the house of mourning
    than to go to the house of feasting;
for this is the end of all men,
    and the living will lay it to heart.
³ Sorrow is better than laughter,
    for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.
⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning;
    but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
