Ecclesiastes 11:7-10
7The light is pleasant, and it is good for the eyes to 1see the sun. 8Indeed, if a person lives many years, let him 2rejoice in them all; but let him remember the 3days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility.
9Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the 4impulses of your heart and the 56desires of your eyes. Yet know that 7God will bring you to judgment for all these things. 10So remove 8sorrow from your heart and keep 910pain away from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are 11fleeting.
