Ecclesiastes 7:1-7
1A good name is better than fine perfume, and one’s day of death is better than his day of birth.2It is better to enter a house of mourning than a house of feasting, since death is the end of every man, and the living should take this to heart.
3Sorrow is better than laughter,for a sad countenance is good for the heart.4The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
5It is better to heed a wise man’s rebukethan to listen to the song of fools.6For like the crackling of thorns under the pot,so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile.
7Surely extortion turns a wise man into a fool,and a bribe corrupts the heart.
