Ecclesiastes 7:3-5
Revised Standard Version
Ecclesiastes 7:3-5
Revised Standard Version
3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.
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 for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise
than to hear the song of fools.
