Seek God in Early Life

12Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":H2142H1254H3117H979H7451H3117H935H8141H5060H559H2656 2While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain;H8121H216H3394H3556H2821H5645H7725H310H1653 3In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look through the windows grow dim;H3117H8104H1004H2111H2428H582H5791H2912H988H4591H7200H699H2821 4When the doors are shut in the streets, And the sound of grinding is low; When one rises up at the sound of a bird, And all the daughters of music are brought low;H1817H5462H7784H6963H2913H8217H6965H6963H6833H1323H7892H7817 5Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.H3372H1364H2849H1870H8247H5006H2284H5445H35H6565H120H1980H5769H1004H5594H5437H7784 6Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well.H3808H3701H2256H7576H7368H2091H1543H7533H3537H7665H4002H1534H7533H953 7Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.H6083H7725H776H7307H7725H430H5414 8"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity."H1892H1892H559H6953H1892

The Whole Duty of Man

9And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs.H3148H6953H2450H3925H5971H1847H239H2713H8626H7235H4912 10The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth.H6953H1245H4672H2656H1697H3789H3476H1697H571 11The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.H1697H2450H1861H4930H5193H1167H627H5414H259H7462 12And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.H3148H1992H1121H2094H6213H7235H5612H7093H7235H3854H3024H1320 13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.H8085H5490H1697H3372H430H8104H4687H120 14For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.H430H935H4639H4941H5956H2896H7451
