Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

The Voice

²     In the same way, it is better to go to a funeral
        than a celebration.
    Why? because death is the end of life’s journey,
        and the living should always take that to heart.
³     Sorrow beats foolish laughter;
        embracing sadness somehow gladdens our hearts.
⁴     A wise heart is well acquainted with grief,
        but a foolish heart seeks only pleasure’s company.
