Ecclesiastes 11:9 Context
7¶ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing is it for the eyes to behold the sunne. 8But if a man liue many yeeres, and reioyce in them all; yet let him remember the dayes of darkenesse, for they shall be many. All that commeth is vanitie. 9¶ Reioyce, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheere thee in the dayes of thy youth, and walke in the wayes of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things, God will bring thee into iudgement. 10Therefore remoue sorrow from thy heart, and put away euill from thy flesh; for child-hood & youth are vanitie.
