ECCLESIASTES 11:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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 thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.”
The exhortation to rejoice in one's youth and let one's heart gladden in the youthful days, suggesting young people should walk where their heart leads and their eyes guide them, endorses youthful joy and pleasure-seeking. The permission given—walk where your eyes and heart lead—suggests freedom and acceptance of youthful pursuits. This verse affirms youth's capacity for joy.
