Ecclesiastes 11:7-10
7The lightH216 is pleasantH4966, and it is goodH2896 for the eyesH5869 to 1seeH7200 the sunH8121. 8IndeedH3588, ifH518 a personH120 livesH2421 manyH7235 yearsH8141, let him 2rejoiceH8055 in them allH3605; but let him rememberH2142 the 3daysH3117 of darknessH2822, for they will be manyH7235. EverythingH3605 that is to comeH935 will be futilityH1892.
9RejoiceH8055, youngH970 manH970, during your childhoodH3208, and let your heartH3820 beH3190 pleasantH3190 during the daysH3117 of youngH979 manhoodH979. And followH1980 the 4impulsesH1870 of your heartH3820 and the 56desiresH4758 of your eyesH5869. Yet knowH3045 that 7GodH430 will bringH935 you to judgmentH4941 for allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428. 10So removeH5493 8sorrowH3708 from your heartH3820 and keepH5674 910painH7463 awayH5674 from your bodyH1320, becauseH3588 childhoodH3208 and the primeH7839 ofH7839 lifeH7839 are 11fleetingH1892.
