Ecclesiastes 7:2-6

7:2

[It is] better
<02896>

to go
<03212> (8800)

to the house
<01004>

of mourning
<060>_,

than to go
<03212> (8800)

to the house
<01004>

of feasting
<04960>_:

for
<0834>

that [is] the end
<05490>

of all men
<0120>_;

and the living
<02416>

will lay
<05414> (8799)

[it] to his heart
<03820>_.

7:3

Sorrow
<03708>

[is] better
<02896>

than laughter
<07814>_:

for by the sadness
<07455>

of the countenance
<06440>

the heart
<03820>

is made better
<03190> (8799)_.

{Sorrow: or, Anger}

7:4

The heart
<03820>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] in the house
<01004>

of mourning
<060>_;

but the heart
<03820>

of fools
<03684>

[is] in the house
<01004>

of mirth
<08057>_.

7:5

[It is] better
<02896>

to hear
<08085> (8800)

the rebuke
<01606>

of the wise
<02450>_,

than for a man
<0376>

to hear
<08085> (8802)

the song
<07892>

of fools
<03684>_.

7:6

For as the crackling
<06963>

of thorns
<05518>

under a pot
<05518>_,

so [is] the laughter
<07814>

of the fool
<03684>_:

this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.

{crackling: Heb. sound}

Proverbs 14:13

14:13

Even in laughter
<07814>

the heart
<03820>

is sorrowful
<03510> (8799)_;

and the end
<0319>

of that mirth
<08057>

[is] heaviness
<08424>_.

<06635>

call
<07121> (8799)

to weeping
<01065>_,

and to mourning
<04553>_,

and to baldness
<07144>_,

and to girding
<02296> (8800)

with sackcloth
<08242>_:

22:13

And behold joy
<08342>

and gladness
<08057>_,

slaying
<02026> (8800)

oxen
<01241>_,

and killing
<07819> (8800)

sheep
<06629>_,

eating
<0398> (8800)

flesh
<01320>_,

and drinking
<08354> (8800)

wine
<03196>_:

let us eat
<0398> (8800)

and drink
<08354> (8800)_;

for to morrow
<04279>

we shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

themselves upon their couches

out of the flock

and the calves

out of the midst

6:5

That chant
<06527> (8802)

to the sound

themselves with the chief
