Ecclesiastes 7:1-9
1A good nameH8034 is betterH2896 than fineH2896 perfumeH8081, and one’s dayH3117 of deathH4194 is better than his dayH3117 of birthH3205.2It is betterH2896 to enterH1980H413 a houseH1004 of mourningH60 thanH1980 a houseH1004 of feastingH4960, sinceH834 death is the endH5490 of everyH3605 manH120, and the livingH2416 should takeH5414 this toH413 heartH3820.
3SorrowH3708 is betterH2896 than laughterH7814,forH3588 a sadH7455 countenanceH6440 is goodH3190 for the heartH3820.4The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 is in the houseH1004 of mourningH60,but the heartH3820 of foolsH3684 is in the houseH1004 of pleasureH8057.
5It is betterH2896 to heedH8085 a wise man’sH2450 rebukeH1606thanH376 to listenH8085 to the songH7892 of foolsH3684.6ForH3588 like the cracklingH6963 of thornsH5518 underH8478 the potH5518,soH3651 is the laughterH7814 of the foolH3684. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892.
