“Remove vexation [or cause for worry] from your heart, and ward off calamity.”
How can youths “ward off calamity,” and receive a righteous judgment—to “everlasting life”? (Romans 6:23) How young ones can do so is shown by the further encouragement: “Remember, now, your Grand Creator in the days of your young manhood, before the calamitous days proceed to come.”
What are “the calamitous days” during which those who fail to remember their Creator say, “I have no delight in them”? The writer of Ecclesiastes meant the days of old age when a person weakens and body organs break down, failing to function properly.
