God will bring thee into judgment" ( Ecclesiastes 3:17 Ecclesiastes 12:14 ). youth . . . youth —distinct Hebrew words, adolescence or boyhood (before Ecclesiastes 12:14- : ), and full-grown youth. It marks the gradual progress in self-indulgence, to which the young especially are prone; they see the roses, but do not discover the thorns, until pierced by them. Religion will cost self-denial, but the want of it infinitely more ( Luke 14:28 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
