Ecclesiastes 11:10 in Context — Ecclesiastes 11

8 Mas si el hombre viviere muchos años, y en todos ellos hubiere gozado alegría; si después trajere á la memoria los días de las tinieblas, que serán muchos, todo lo que [le] habrá pasado, [dirá haber sido] vanidad.

9 Alégrate, mancebo, en tu mocedad, y tome placer tu corazón en los días de tu juventud; y anda en los caminos de tu corazón, y en la vista de tus ojos: mas sabe, que sobre todas estas cosas te traerá Dios á juicio.

10 Quita pues el enojo de tu corazón, y aparta el mal de tu carne: porque la mocedad y la juventud son vanidad.
