2. It is better to go to a house of mourningthan to go to a house of feasting,for this is the end of all mankind;and the living will lay it to heart.
3. Grief is better than laughter,for with a downcast face the heart considers the good.
4. The heart of those who are wise is in the house of mourning,but the heart of those who are foolish in the house of feasting.
