2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
Than to go to a house of feasting,

And the living ^{▼▼ Lit gives
,} ^dtakes it to ^{▼▼ Lit his heart}heart.
3 ^fSorrow is better than laughter,
For ^gwhen a face is sad a heart may be happy.

While the ^{▼▼ Lit heart}mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.
