Ecclesiastes 11:9–12:1

⁹Young people, enjoy yourselves while you are young;

be happy while you are young.

Do whatever your heart desires,

whatever you want to do.

But remember that God will judge you

for everything you do.

¹⁰Don’t worry,

and forget the troubles of your body,

because youth and childhood are useless.

The Problems of Old Age

12Remember your Creator

while you are young,

before the days of trouble come

and the years when you say,

“I find no pleasure in them.”
