Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
1599 Geneva Bible
9 [a]Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thine 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 that for all these things, God will bring thee to judgment.
10 Therefore take away [b]grief out of thine heart, and cause evil [c]to depart from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
New International Version
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.(A)
10 So then, banish anxiety(B) from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless.(C)
