It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them;
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes.
Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
He sits alone and keeps silence, because he has borne it upon him.
