Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
A good name is better than precious ointment and the day of death 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 will lay it to his heart.
3
Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made whole.
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 hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools.
6
The laughter of the fool is as the crackling of thorns under a pot, and this also (the laughter or prosperity of the fool) is vanity.
