Ecclesiastes 11:7
Compare all
5 As ayou do not know what is the way of the1 wind,
bOr how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. 
6 In the morning sow your seed,
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good.
7 Truly the light is sweet,
And it is pleasant for the eyes ato behold the sun; 
8 But if a man lives many years
And arejoices in them all,
Yet let him bremember the days of darkness,
For they will be many.
All that is coming is vanity. 

Seek God in Early Life

9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,
And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;
aWalk in the1 ways of your heart,
And1 in the sight of your eyes;
But know that for all these
bGod will bring you into judgment. 
10 Therefore remove1 sorrow from your heart,
And aput away evil from your flesh,
bFor childhood and1 youth are vanity.
