3. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come.
4. Anger is better than laughter: because by the sadness of the countenance the mind of the offender is corrected.
5. The heart of the wise is where there is mourning, and the heart of fools where there is mirth.
6. It is better to be rebuked by a wise man, than to be deceived by the flattery of fools.
7. For as the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so is the laughter of a fool: now this also is vanity.
8. Oppression troubleth the wise, and shall destroy the strength of his heart.
