New International Version

Wisdom

7 A good name is better than fine perfume,(A)
    and the day of death better than the day of birth.(B)
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
    than to go to a house of feasting,
for death(C) is the destiny(D) of everyone;
    the living should take this to heart.
