In today's Our Daily Bread devotional for today, March 5, the text is Ecclesiastes 6:12;7:13-14

So, I read Ecclesiastes 6 - 7.

I found Ecclesiastes 7 so weighty and thought-provoking. Below are some shocking verses:

Ec: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.

Ec:7:3: Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

Ec:7:4: The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

Ec:7:5: It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Ec:7:6: For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

For real???

I don't even know to make of them.

And then the following below:

Ec:7:15: All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

Ec:7:16: Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

Ec:7:17: Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

I am still in shock since morning, honestly.
