Ecclesiastes 11:8
So if a man lives many years,
What it says
If one lives many years, he should rejoice in them all while remembering the many dark days to come.
What it is doing
This verse balances joy in life with remembrance of its limits.
In context
7Light is sweet, 8So if a man lives many years, 9Rejoice, O young man, while you are young, 10So banish sorrow from your heart,
