Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
A [good] name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
2

3
Vexation is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools in the house of mirth.
5
It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise, than to hear the song of fools.
6
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.
