Ecclesiastes 7:2

← Ecclesiastes 7:1 Ecclesiastes 7:2 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 7:3 →
A good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
[It is] 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 lay [it] to his heart.
Sorrow [is] better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
