Ecclesiastes 7:3

World English Bible (WEB)

"Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made good."

About Ecclesiastes

A reflection on the meaning of life and finding purpose in God.

Old Testament • Book #21

A good name is better than fine perfume; and the day of death better than the day of one's birth.

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end...

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.
