Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² It is better to go to a funeral than to a banquet because that is where everyone will end up. Everyone who is alive should take this to heart! ³ Sorrow is better than laughter because, in spite of a sad face, the heart can be joyful. ⁴ The minds of wise people think about funerals, but the minds of fools think about banquets.
