Ecclesiastes 11:9 in context

  1. 7Truly the light is sweet,
    and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
  2. 8Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all;
    but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many.
    All that comes is vanity.
  3. 9Rejoice, young man, in your youth,
    and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth,

  4. 10Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
    and put away evil from your flesh;
    for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
