Ecclesiastes 7:1-3
New International Reader's Version
Good Advice About How to Live
7 A good name is better than fine perfume.
People can learn more from mourning when someone dies
than from being happy when someone is born.
2 So it’s better to go where people are mourning
than to go where people are having a good time.
Everyone will die someday.
Those who are still living
should really think about that.
3 Not being able to figure things out is better than laughter.
That’s because sorrow is good for the heart.
