Ecclesiastes 7:1-4

¹A good name is better than good oil; And the day of death than the day of birth.

²It is better to go to the house of mourning, Than to go to the banquet house: Since this is the end of every man; And the living man will apply good warning to his heart.

³Sorrow is better than laughter: For by the sadness of the countenance the heart will be made better.

⁴The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
