Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

NAS

NIV

2 It is better to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
3 Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
