# Take joy, young man, in your youth, and let your heart be joyful in the days of your youth

Here the word "heart" may represent the mind or emotions. AT: "Pursue the good things that you desire" or "Pursue the good things that you have determined to pursue" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# whatever is within the sight of your eyes

Here "eyes" represent the whole person. AT: "whatever you see that you desire" or "whatever you see to be best" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

# God will bring you into judgment for all these things
