Ecclesiastes 7:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ A good name is better than a good ointment, and the day of death is better than the day one is born.

⁴ It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting, because this is the end of all men. And the living shall take it to heart.

⁵ Anger is better than laughter; for by a sad look the heart is made better.
