Ecclesiastes 11:10

New International Reader’s Version (1998)Other versions

English

¹⁰So drive worry out of your heart.

Get rid of all of your troubles.

Being young and strong doesn’t have any meaning.

Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

So then, banish anxiety from your heart

and cast off the troubles of your body,

for youth and vigor are meaningless.

Remove sorrow from your heart,

and put away pain from your flesh,

because youth and the prime of life are fleeting.

So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.

Banish anxiety from your heart,

and put away pain from your body,

for youth and vigor are vanity.

Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
