Ecclesiastes11:9

Previous Verse Next Verse

Translation

Rejoice 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 ELOHIM will bring you into judgment.

Paraphrase

Young man (and young woman), here is my advice to you: Enjoy this time of your life; enjoy the enthusiasm, spontaneity, and energy you now have. Follow the convictions in your heart (if you were raised well and have a good foundation), and pursue

the big dreams you now have because you have incredible potential, but all the while remember one thing – everything you do now will become the foundation for what you do later and at the end of your life THE CREATOR AND RULER OF ALL THINGS will judge you for everything you have done.
