← Ecclesiastes 11:9	Ecclesiastes 11:10 (KJV)	Ecclesiastes 12:1 →
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment.	Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity.	Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
