King James Version (KJV)

Ecclesiastes 11:7

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

Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 11

5

As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

6

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good.

7

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

8

But if a man 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.

9

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.
