I said in my heart, Come now, I will try thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure. But behold, this also is vanity.

Also give not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee.

Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity; for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherein thou art labouring under the sun.

If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for quietness pacifieth great offences.

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

Rejoice, young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
