Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
A good name is better than oil of great price, and the day of death than the day of birth.
2
It is better to go to the house of weeping, than to go to the house of feasting; because that is the end of every man, and the living will take it to their hearts.
3
Sorrow is better than joy; when the face is sad the mind gets better.
4
The hearts of the wise are in the house of weeping; but the hearts of the foolish are in the house of joy.
5
It is better to take note of the protest of the wise, than for a man to give ear to the song of the foolish.
6
Like the cracking of thorns under a pot, so is the laugh of a foolish man; and this again is to no purpose.
