Ecclesiastes 7:1-6
1
A good name is better than a good ointment, And the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth.
2
It is better to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart.
3
Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
4
The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.
5
It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools.
6
For as the crackling of thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is futility.
