Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 11 of Ecclesiastes. Light is pleasant and life is valuable, but dark days will inevitably come. The young person is encouraged to rejoice and walk according to the desires of the heart, but is immediately reminded that God will judge every action. Joy is not presented as absolute moral freedom. Youth should be enjoyed while simultaneously recognizing the brevity of life and responsibility before God.

Laß die Traurigkeit in deinem Herzen und tue das Übel von deinem Leibe; denn Kindheit und Jugend ist eitel.
Quita pues el enojo de tu corazón, y aparta el mal de tu carne: porque la mocedad y la juventud son vainidad.
Aparta de tu corazón la congoja y aleja el sufrimiento de tu cuerpo, porque la juventud y la flor de la vida son vanidad.
Bannis de ton coeur le chagrin, et éloigne le mal de ton corps; car la jeunesse et l'aurore sont vanité.
E togli dal cuor tuo la tristizia, e rimuovi il cordoglio dalla tua carne; perciocchè la fanciullezza e la giovanezza sono una cosa vana
Afasta, pois, a ira do teu coração, e remove da tua carne o mal, porque a adolescência e a juventude são vaidade.
所以,當從心中除掉愁煩,從肉體除去痛苦;因為年少和年輕之時,全是虛空。
