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.
KJV
[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.
ASV
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.
