Ecclesiastes 11:9–12:1

Seek God in Early Life

9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,

And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;

kWalk in the 2ways of your heart,

And 3in the sight of your eyes;

But know that for all these

lGod will bring you into judgment.

10 Therefore remove 4sorrow from your heart,

And mput away evil from your flesh,

nFor childhood and 5youth are vanity.

12 Remember anow your Creator in the days of your youth,

Before the 1difficult days come,

And the years draw near bwhen you say,

“I have no pleasure in them”:
