Ecclesiastes 7:1-8
A good name
<08034>
<08034>
[is] better
<02896>
<02896>
than precious
<02896>
<02896>
ointment
<08081>_;
<08081>_;
and the day
<03117>
<03117>
of death
<04194>
<04194>
than the day
<03117>
<03117>
[It is] better
<02896>
<02896>
to the house
<01004>
<01004>
of mourning
<060>_,
<060>_,
to the house
<01004>
<01004>
of feasting
<04960>_:
<04960>_:
for
<0834>
<0834>
that [is] the end
<05490>
<05490>
of all men
<0120>_;
<0120>_;
and the living
<02416>
<02416>
[it] to his heart
<03820>_.
<03820>_.
Sorrow
<03708>
<03708>
[is] better
<02896>
<02896>
than laughter
<07814>_:
<07814>_:
for by the sadness
<07455>
<07455>
of the countenance
<06440>
<06440>
the heart
<03820>
{Sorrow: or, Anger}<03820>
The heart
<03820>
<03820>
of the wise
<02450>
<02450>
[is] in the house
<01004>
<01004>
of mourning
<060>_;
<060>_;
but the heart
<03820>
<03820>
of fools
<03684>
<03684>
[is] in the house
<01004>
<01004>
of mirth
<08057>_.
<08057>_.
[It is] better
<02896>
<02896>
the rebuke
<01606>
<01606>
of the wise
<02450>_,
<02450>_,
than for a man
<0376>
<0376>
the song
<07892>
<07892>
of fools
<03684>_.
<03684>_.
For as the crackling
<06963>
<06963>
of thorns
<05518>
<05518>
under a pot
<05518>_,
<05518>_,
so [is] the laughter
<07814>
<07814>
of the fool
<03684>_:
<03684>_:
this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.
{crackling: Heb. sound}<01892>_.
