Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
A good name is better than fine oil, and the day of death better than the birthday.
2
It is better to go to a house in mourning than to a house party, because that is everyone's destiny; and the living should take it to heart.
3
Aggravation is better than merriment because a sad face may lead to a glad heart.
4
The wise heart is in the house that mourns, but the foolish heart is in the house that rejoices.
5
It is better to obey the reprimand of the wise than to listen to the song of fools,
6
because the fool's merriment is like nettles crackling under a kettle. That too is pointless.
