Ecclesiastes 7:1

LXX

NIV

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?
1 A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.
