7 The light is sweet, and it [is] pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.
7
Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
8 For if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in all of them! Let him remember that the days of the darkness will be many-- all that is coming [is] vanity!
8
However many years anyone may live, let them enjoy them all. But let them remember the days of darkness, for there will be many. Everything to come is meaningless.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth! Follow the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes-- but know that God will bring you into judgment for all these things.
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.
10 Banish anxiety from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and vigor [are] vanity.
10
So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.
