5 As you do not know the path of the wind,or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,so you cannot understand the work of God,the Maker of all things.
6 Sow your seed in the morning,and at evening let your hands not be idle,for you do not know which will succeed,whether this or that,or whether both will do equally well.
7 Light is sweet,and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
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 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 heartand whatever your eyes see,but know that for all these thingsGod will bring you into judgment.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heartand cast off the troubles of your body,for youth and vigour are meaningless.
