Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the [a]impulses of your heart and the [b](A)desires of your eyes. Yet know that (B)God will bring you to judgment for all these things. 10 So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away [c](C)pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting.

Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
New International Version
9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.(A)
10 So then, banish anxiety(B) from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless.(C)
