Youth and Beauty

So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless. Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
As the Scriptures say, "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. We blossom like a flower and then wither. Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear.

As a father has compassion on his children,so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

“All people are like grass,
and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
7The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the Lord blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever.”

A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig's snout. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
