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

1 Remember the One who created you. Remember him while you are still young. Think about him before your times of trouble come. The years will come when you will say, "I don't find any pleasure in them."

8 "Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Nothing has any meaning."

13 Everything has now been heard. And here's the final thing I want to say. Have respect for God and obey his commandments. That's what everyone should do.

14 God will judge everything people do. That includes everything they try to hide. He'll judge everything, whether it's good or evil.
