Ecclesiastes 7:1-3

Darby Translation

7 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: in that that is the end of all men, and the living taketh it to heart.

³ Vexation is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
