It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
It is good for me that I have been afflicted;\par\tab That I may learn thy statutes.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah,\par\tab And teachest out of thy law;
So teach us to number our days,\par\tab That we may get us a heart of wisdom.
It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.
Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him.
