Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

But if a man shall live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

Rejoice, O 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 thy eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, are not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
