Ecclesiastes 7:2-6 (New King James Version)

² 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 take it to heart.
       ³ Sorrow is better than laughter,
      For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.
       ⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
      But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
       ⁵ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
      Than for a man to hear the song of fools.
       ⁶ For like the crackling of thorns under a pot,
      So is the laughter of the fool.
      This also is vanity.
