Ecclesiastes 11

11:1Send your bread upon the face of the water! for in a multitude of days you will find it.

11:2Give a portion to seven, even indeed to eight! for you do not know what evil there will be upon the earth.

11:3If the clouds should be filled of rain, they pour out upon the earth; and if a tree should fall towards the south, or if towards the north, in the place where the tree shall fall there it shall be.

11:4Giving heed to the wind one does not sow, and one looking into the clouds will not harvest.

11:5Among the ones in whom there is no knowing what the way of the wind is, as the bones in the womb of one being with child, so you shall not know the actions of God, as much as he shall do in all things.

11:6At morning sow your seed, and at evening do not relieve your hand! for you do not know what will line up -- this here, this there, or if the two are good together.

11:7Moreover the light is sweet, and it is good to the eyes to see with the sun.

11:8For even if a man shall live many years, in all them he shall be glad. And the days of darkness shall be remembered, for they will be many. All coming is folly.

11:9Be glad, O young man, in your youth! and let your heart do you good in the days of your youth! And walk in the ways of your heart unblemished, and in the vision of your eyes! And know that in all these God shall lead you in equity!

11:10And leave rage from your heart, and pass off wickedness from your flesh! for youth and thoughtlessness are folly.
