Ecclesiastes 7:1-4

¹Better is a name than good perfume, And the day of death than the day of birth.

²Better to go unto a house of mourning, Than to go unto a house of banqueting, For that is the end of all men, And the living layeth it unto his heart.

³Better is sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the face the heart becometh better.

⁴The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a house of mirth.
