Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

2It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.

3Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.

4The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
