Ecclesiastes 7:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 (A)A good name is better than a good ointment, and the day of [a]death, than the day that one is born.
4 It is better to go to the house of [b]mourning, than to go to the house of feasting, because this is the end of all men: and the living shall lay it to his heart.
5 Anger is better than laughter: for by a sad look the heart is made better.
