nkjv - Ecclesiastes:11:7-12:8

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ 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.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember 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":

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ In 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;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ When 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.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ Also 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.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ Remember 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.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @ "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity."
