Eccl 7:2-4 niv
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter,
because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
Eccl 7:5-6 niv
5 It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools.

7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,

for anger resides in the lap of fools.
Eccl 7:10 niv
