• Ecclesiastes 2:12-13
  Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly;
  For what can the man do who succeeds the king?—
  Only what he has already done.
  Then I saw that wisdom excels folly
  As light excels darkness.

  Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,
  And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;
  Walk in the ways of your heart,
  And in the sight of your eyes;
  But know that for all these
  God will bring you into judgment.
  Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
  And put away evil from your flesh,
  For childhood and youth are vanity.
