Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
New Catholic Bible
Rejoice in Your Youth
9 Rejoice, young man, while you are young,
and make the most of the days of your youth.
Follow the inclinations of your heart
and the desires of your eyes.
Yet remember that for all these things
God will demand an account.[a]
10 Banish grief from your heart
and ignore the sufferings of your body,
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting.
Footnotes
- Ecclesiastes 11:9 God will demand an account: hence, every detail of life is in no way meaningless or vanity but of great importance.
