Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 — Legacy Standard Bible

²Better to go to a house of mourningThan to go to a house of feastingBecause ¹that is the ^aend of all mankind,And the living ^bputs this in his heart.³^aBetter is vexation than laughter,For ^bwhen a face is sad a heart may be merry.⁴The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,While the heart of fools is in the house of gladness.
