Rejoice, O young man, in your youth. And make your heart glad in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
I searched in my heart how to draw out my flesh with wine, and leading my heart in wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, until I might see where the good for the sons of men is, that which they should do under the heavens the number of days of their life.
And I have seen that nothing is better than that the man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion; for who can bring him to see what shall be after him?
Then I praised mirth, because nothing is good for man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be glad. For that shall join with him in his labor for the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.
You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness; they remember You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry, for we sinned. In them is eternity, we shall be saved.
I showed you by all things that working hard in this way it is needful to help the ones being feeble, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
But you shall eat it before Jehovah your God in the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, you and your son, and your daughter, and your male slave, and your female slave, and the Levite who is within your gates. And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God in all that you put your hand to.
And you shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, with which Jehovah your God has blessed you.
And it shall be, as Jehovah exulted over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Jehovah shall exult over you to destroy you, and to lay you waste. And you shall be plucked from the land you are going to possess.
