kjv - Ecclesiastes:7:1-8

kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
