9Rejoice, O young man, while you are young,
and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth.
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 to judgment.
10So banish sorrow from your heart,
and cast off pain from your body,
for youth and vigor are fleeting.
1Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,
before the days of adversity come
and the years approach of which you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them,”
— Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:1
