Ecclesiastes 11:8-10
World English Bible
8 Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all;
but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many.
All that comes is vanity.
9 Rejoice, young man, in your youth,
and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth,
and walk in the ways of your heart,
and in the sight of your eyes;
but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
and put away evil from your flesh;
for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
Ecclesiastes 11:8-10
New International Version
8 However many years anyone may live,
let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember(A) the days of darkness,
for there will be many.
Everything to come is meaningless.
9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.(B)
10 So then, banish anxiety(C) from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless.(D)
