Ecclesiastes 7:1-3
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
A Disillusioned View of Life
7 A good name is better than precious ointment,
and the day of death, than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting;
for this is the end of everyone,
and the living will lay it to heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.
