Ecclesiastes 7:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³ Sorrow is better than laughter,
    for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.
⁴ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning;
    but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
⁵ It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise
    than to hear the song of fools.
