2 Good to go to the house of mourning rather than to go to the house of drinking, in that it is the end of every man; and he living shall give to his heart.

3 Good is grief above laughter: for in the illness of the face the heart shall be good.

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; and the heart of the foolish in the house of gladness.
