Ecclesiastes 7:2
Thomson 1808
It is better to go to a house of mourning than to a house of feasting. As that is the end of every man therefore the living will improve his understanding.
Brenton 1851
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the banquet house: since this is the end of every man; and the living man will apply good warning to his heart.
Greek · Brenton
Ἀγαθὸν πορευθῆναι εἰς οἶκον πένθους ἢ ὅτι πορευθῆναι εἰς οἶκον πότου· καθότι τοῦτο τέλος παντὸς ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ὁ ζῶν δώσει ἀγαθὸν εἰς καρδίαν αὐτοῦ.
