Ecclesiastes 7:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ Grief is better than laughter,
for when a face is sad, a heart may be glad.^(A)
4 The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in a house of pleasure.
⁵ It is better to listen to rebuke from a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools,^(B)
