Ecclesiastes 7:2-6 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting In that it is the terminus of every man, Thus let the living lay this on his heart."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting In that it is the terminus of every man, Thus let the living lay this on his heart." ³ Better is vexation than mirth, For with evil on the countenance the heart may be made better." ⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, And the heart of the stupid in the house of rejoicing." ⁵ Better to hear the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to hear the song of the stupid. ⁶ For as the sound of the briars under the pot, So is the mirth of the stupid man; This too is vanity."
