Ecclesiastes 11:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
Remember God while you are young
7 Light makes people happy.
It is good to see the sun rise in the morning.
8 People may live for many years,
and they should happily enjoy every day.
But they should remember that their lives will end in death.
There will be many days of trouble ahead.
We cannot understand everything that will happen to us in the future.
9 Young people, enjoy your life while you are young.
Do the things that you think are good.
Enjoy the things that you see.
But remember that God will judge you
for all the things that you do.

New International Version
Ecclesiastes 11:7-9
New International Version
Remember Your Creator While Young
7 Light is sweet,
and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.(A)
8 However many years anyone may live,
let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember(B) the days of darkness,
for there will be many.
Everything to come is meaningless.
9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.(C)
