Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.
2
It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.
3
Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.
4
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
5
It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.
6
Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless.
