Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

2It is betterH2896 to go to the houseH1004 of mourningH60 than to go to the houseH1004 of feastingH4960: for that is the endH5490 of all menH120; and the living will lay it to his heartH3820. 3Sorrow is betterH2896 than laughterH7814; for by the sadnessH7455 of the countenance the heartH3820 is madeH3190 glad. 4The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 is in the houseH1004 of mourningH60; but the heartH3820 of foolsH3684 is in the houseH1004 of mirth.
