2It’s better to attend a funeral
than to attend a banquet,
for everyone dies eventually,
and the living will take this to heart.
3Sorrow is better than laughter,
because the heart is made better through trouble.
4For the wise person thinks carefully when in mourning,
but fools focus their thoughts on pleasure.
5It is better to listen to a wise person’s rebuke
than to listen to the praise of fools.
6For as thorns burn to heat a pot,
so also is the laughter of the fool—
even this is pointless.
