Ecclesiastes 11:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Even those who live many years should take pleasure in them all. But they should be mindful that there will also be many dark days. Everything that happens is pointless.

⁹ Rejoice, young person, while you are young! Your heart should make you happy in your prime. Follow your heart’s inclinations and whatever your eyes see, but know this: God will call you to account for all of these things. ¹⁰ Remove anxiety from your heart, banish pain from your body, because youth and the dawn of life are pointless too.
