Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

The Message

² You learn more at a funeral than at a feast—
After all, that’s where we’ll end up. We might discover
    something from it.

³ Crying is better than laughing.
It blotches the face but it scours the heart.

⁴ Sages invest themselves in hurt and grieving.
Fools waste their lives in fun and games.
