Ecclesiastes 11:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ People ought to enjoy every day of their lives,
    ·no matter how long they live [^Lif they live many years].
But they should also remember this:
    ·You will be dead a long time [^LThere will be many dark days].
    Everything that happens then is useless [1:2].
⁹ Young people, enjoy yourselves while you are young;
    ·be happy [^Llet your heart be merry] while you are young.
·Do whatever your heart desires [^LFollow the ways of your heart],
    ·whatever you want to do [^Lfollow the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes].
But ·remember [^Lknow] that God will ·judge you
    for everything you do.
¹⁰ ·Don’t worry [^LPut away anger from your heart],
    and ·forget the troubles of [^Lturn away evil from] your body,
because youth and ·childhood [vitality] are useless [1:2].
