God’s Word Translation
Ecclesiastes 7:2-5
2It is better to go to a funeral than to a banquet because that is where everyone will end up. Everyone who is alive should take this to heart!
3Sorrow is better than laughter because, in spite of a sad face, the heart can be joyful.
4The minds of wise people think about funerals, but the minds of fools think about banquets.
5It is better to listen to wise people who reprimand you than to fools who sing your praises.
