Ecclesiastes 7:2-6 It is better to go in to an house of mournynge, then in to a bancket house. For there is the ende of all men, and he that is lyuinge, taketh it to herte.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ² It is better to go in to an house of mournynge, then in to a bancket house. For there is the ende of all men, and he that is lyuinge, taketh it to herte. ³ It is better to be sory then to laugh, for whe the countenaunce is heuy, the herte is ioyfull. ⁴ The herte of ye wyse is in the mournynge house, but the hert of the foolish is in the house of myrth. ⁵ It is better to geue eare to the chastenynge of a wyse man, then to heare the songe of fooles. ⁶ For the laughinge of fooles is like ye crackynge of thornes vnder a pott. And yt is but a vayne thinge.
