Ecclesiastes 7:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made whole.

⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.

⁵ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools.
