2 Better to go to a house of mourning, || Than to go to a house of banqueting, || For that is the end of all men, || And the living lays [it] to his heart. 3 Better [is] sorrow than laughter, || For by the sadness of the face the heart becomes better. 4 The heart of the wise [is] in a house of mourning, || And the heart of fools in a house of mirth.
