¹⁰ Our days may come to seventy years,^(A)
    or eighty,^(B) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,^(C)
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.^(D)

12 Remember^(A) your Creator
    in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble^(B) come
    and the years approach when you will say,
    “I find no pleasure in them”—

¹¹ Woe^(A) to those who rise early in the morning
    to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
    till they are inflamed with wine.^(B)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes^(C) and timbrels^(D) and wine,
but they have no regard^(E) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.^(F)
