Predikaren 7:3-5
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
3 Det är bättre att gå till ett sorgehus än till ett festställe,
för det är varje människas öde,
och det bör varje levande betänka.
4 Att sörja är bättre än att skratta,
för ett nedstämt ansikte gör gott för hjärtat.[a]
5 Den vises tankar är i sorgehuset
men dårens på nöjesställen.
Footnotes
- 7:4 Tanken är antingen att människan mår bra av att sörja öppet, eller: …trots att ansiktet är nedstämt kan man vara vid gott mod.
