Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
What advantage has a man? for who knows good for a man in his life, the number of the life of the days of his vanity? and he has spent them as a shadow; for who shall tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
2
A good name is better than good oil; and the day of death than the day of birth.
3
better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the banquet house: since this is the end of every man; and the living man will apply good to his heart.
4
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart will be made better.
5
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
6
better to hear a reproof of a wise man, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
