Ecclesiastes 7:3

Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka uwe ana mamua o ka akaaka; no ka mea, ma ka inoino o ka maka, e maikai ai ka naau.

Baibala Hemolele

In The King James Version

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

In Context

2Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka hele ana i ka hale kanikau mamua o ka hele ana i ka hale ahaaina; no ka mea, malaila ka hopena o na kanaka a pau, a e hoopili ke kanaka ola ia mea i kona naau iho.

4O ka naau o ka mea naauao, aia no ia ma ka hale kanikau; aka hoi, o ka naau o ka mea naaupo, aia no ia ma ka hale paani.
