[1] 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 all men,
and the living will lay it to heart.
[3] Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.
[4] The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning;
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
[5] It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise
than to hear the song of fools.
[6] For as the crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fools;
this also is vanity.
