Ecclesiastes 2:2
2I asaid of laughter, βIt is mad,β and of pleasure, βWhat use is it?βEcclesiastes 7:2-5
2It is better to go to the house of mourningthan to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will blay it to heart.
3Sorrow is better than laughter,
cfor 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.
5It is dbetter for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise
than to hear the song of fools.
