What does Ecclesiastes 7:2-6 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
Sorrowa is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
For as the cracklingb of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
