1. As Ecclesiastes 11:9 ; Ecclesiastes 11:10 showed what youths are to shun, so this verse shows what they are to follow. Creator —"Remember" that thou art not thine own, but God's property; for He has created thee ( Psalms 100:3 ). Therefore serve Him with thy "all" ( Psalms 100:3- : ), and with thy best days, not with the dregs of them ( Proverbs 8:17 ; Proverbs 22:6 ; Jeremiah 3:4 ; Lamentations 3:27 ). The Hebrew is "Creators," plural, implying the plurality of persons, as in Genesis 1:26 ; so Hebrew, "Makers" ( Genesis 1:26- : ). while . . . not —that is, before that ( Proverbs 8:26 ) the evil days come; namely, calamity and old age, when one can no longer serve God, as in youth ( Ecclesiastes 11:2 ; Ecclesiastes 11:8 ). no pleasure —of a sensual kind ( 2 Samuel 19:35 ; Psalms 90:10 ). Pleasure in God continues to the godly old ( Psalms 90:10- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
