011:009 Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. 011:010 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity. 012:001 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them;" 012:002 Before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain; 012:003 in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows are darkened, 012:004 and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; 012:005 yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be in the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets: 012:006 before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the spring, or the wheel broken at the cistern, 012:007 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 012:008 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher. All is vanity! 012:009 Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 012:010 The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth. 012:011 The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 012:012 Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 012:013 This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 012:014 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
