Better (the) wrath [of the L-rd, (which turns one to repentance)] than [His] "laughter" [i.e., His indulgence]; for with a stern countenance, the heart [will be moved] to better [its ways].

Commentaires sur Ecclésiaste 7:3
Rashi
English
Better vexation than levity. If one is pursued by the [Divine] standard of justice, he should not be depressed. It would have been better for the generation of the flood if the Holy One, Blessed Is He, had showed them an angry countenance because of their sins, rather than the laughter that He laughed with them, for had He shown them a slight expression of displeasure, they would have returned to [do] good. It would have been better for Adoniyahu had his father caused him grief for every sin that he committed, rather than the laughter that he showed him, and for which he was ultimately killed.
The heart is made better. It will reverse man’s heart and cause him to improve his ways.

Ibn Ezra
English
Vexation is better than revelry: Medical men have already indicated that man possesses three souls. One is the vegetative soul; that is to say, just as in the vegetative kingdom (as in grass, plants, and trees) there is a power we call soul, responsible for growth and reproduction, so man possesses a similar power. This soul grows in strength for a specified time. Its main attribute is corporeal desire and it requires the intake of food for its realization. The second soul is the animal soul. It uses the faculties of the five senses and is responsible for the power of motion, moving animal and man from place to place. The third soul, which only man possesses, is referred to as neshamah. This is the faculty of reason that distinguishes between truth and falsehood. The second soul is midway between the other two souls.
