Ecclesiastes 12:1; Ecclesiastes 12:8; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

1 Remember your Creator when you are young, before the days of trouble come and the years catch up with you. They will make you say, "I have found no pleasure in them."

8 "Absolutely pointless!" says the spokesman. "Everything is pointless!"

13 After having heard it all, this is the conclusion: Fear God, and keep his commands, because this applies to everyone.

14 God will certainly judge everything that is done. This includes every secret thing, whether it is good or bad.
