Ecclesiastes 7:1-2 Complete Jewish Bible

7 A good name is better than perfumed oil,
and the day of death better than the day of birth.
²Better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for all are destined to be mourned;
the living should lay this to heart.

1 Kings 2:10-12 New King James Version
