Ecclesiastes 7:1-2

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

7 A good name is better than fine perfume,^(A)
and the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.^(B)
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
since that is the end of all mankind,
and the living should take it to heart.^(C)
