Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
A good name is better than fine perfume; and the day of death better than the day of one's birth.
2
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this to heart.
3
Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made good.
4
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.
