2 It is better to go to a funeral than a feast. For death is the destiny of every person, and the living should take this to heart.

3 Sorrow is better than laughter, because sober reflection is good for the heart.

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