Ecclesiastes 7:1-2
New King James Version

The Value of Practical Wisdom

7 A (A)good name is better than precious ointment,
And the day of death than the day of one’s (B)birth;
2 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 take it to (C)heart.

Wisdom

7 A good name is better than fine perfume,(A)
    and the day of death better than the day of birth.(B)
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
    than to go to a house of feasting,
for death(C) is the destiny(D) of everyone;
    the living should take this to heart.
