Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. Light is pleasant, and it is delightful for the eyes to see the sun.

8. If a man lives for many years, and if he has rejoiced in all of these, he must remember the many days of the dark times, which, when they will have arrived, will accuse the past of vanity.

9. So then, rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart remain in what is good during the days of your youth. And walk in the ways of your heart, and with the perception of your eyes. And know that, concerning all these things, God will bring you to judgment.

10. Remove anger from your heart, and set aside evil from your flesh. For youth and pleasure are empty.
