7. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun,
8. but if a man lives many years and rejoices in them all; yet if afterwards he remembers the days of darkness, for they shall be many, he shall say that everything that shall have happened to him is vanity.
9. 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.
10. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.
