Ecclesiastes 11:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ If a person lives to be very old, let him rejoice in every day of life, but let him also remember that eternity is far longer and that everything down here is futile in comparison.

⁹ Young man, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it! Do all you want to; take in everything, but realize that you must account to God for everything you do. ¹⁰ So banish grief and pain, but remember that youth, with a whole life before it, can make serious mistakes.
