Genesis 21:11

11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son.

7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, ^a“Why are your faces downcast today?”

15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,
but ^bthe cheerful of heart has a continual feast.

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