7 Sunshine is sweet;it is good to see the light of day.
8 People ought to enjoy every day of their lives,no matter how long they live.But they should also remember this:You will be dead a long time.Everything that happens then is useless.
9 Young people, enjoy yourselves while you are young;be happy while you are young.Do whatever your heart desires,whatever you want to do.But remember that God will judge youfor everything you do.
10 Don’t worry,and forget the troubles of your body,because youth and childhood are useless.
