Ecclesiastes 2:2

I said of laughter: It is madness. And of pleasure: What does it do?

Even in laughter the heart has pain; and joy may end in grief.

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting. That is the end for all men and the living takes it to heart.

In that day Jehovah God of Hosts called to weeping and mourning, to baldness and putting on sackcloth.

You put far away the evil day and cause the place of violence to come near.

From now on you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God's will and not by human desires (lusts).
