Ecclesiastes 7:2-5

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 ^(A)heart.
^3 [a]Sorrow is better than laughter,
^(B)For by a sad countenance the heart is made ^[b]better.
⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
