It is better to enter a house of mourning than a house of feasting, since death is the end of every man, and the living should take this to heart.
Jewish Publication Society of America Version (JPS1917) - Ecclesiastes 7:2 >It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart.
