Ecclesiastes 7:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.(A)
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
than to hear the song of fools.(B)
