ECCLESIASTES ยท Chapter 11
11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters: for you shall find it after many
days.
11:2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for you know not what
evil shall be upon the earth.
11:3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the
earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the
place where the tree falls, there it shall be.
11:4 He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that regards the
clouds shall not reap.
11:5 As you know not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones
do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so you know not the
works of God who makes all.
11:6 In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening withhold not
your hand: for you know not whether shall prosper, either this or that,
or whether they both shall be alike good.
11:7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes
to behold the sun:
11:8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let
him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes
is vanity.
11:9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer
you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and
in the sight of your eyes: but know you, that for all these things God
will bring you into judgment.
11:10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from
your flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
