Kohelet 7:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³ Ka’as (sorrow) is better than laughter; for sadness of the countenance is good for the lev.

⁴ The lev of chachamim is in the bais evel (house of mourning); but the lev of kesilim is in the bais simchah.

⁵ It is better to hear the rebuke of the chacham, than for an ish to hear the shir kesilim.
