Ecclesiastes 7:1
“A Good name is better then precious ointment: and the day of death, then the day of ones birth.”
King James Version (KJV)
Ecclesiastes 7:1
1. A Good name is better then precious ointment: and the day of death, then the day of ones birth. 2. ¶ It is better to goe to the house of mourning, then to goe to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men, and the liuing will lay it to his heart. 3. Sorrow is better then laughter: for by the sadnesse of the countenance the heart is made better. 4. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning: but the heart of fooles is in the house of mirth.
