Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to heart.

³ Sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better and gains gladness.^(A)

⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth and sensual joy.
