Chapter 11
|
1
|
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find
it after many days. |
2
|
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou
knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. |
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 falleth,
there it shall be. |
4
|
He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that
regardeth the clouds shall not reap. |
5
|
As thou knowest 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 thou knowest not the works of God
who maketh all. |
6
|
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold
not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper,
either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike
good. |
7
|
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is
for the eyes to behold the sun: |
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 cometh is vanity. |
9
|
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart
cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the
ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes:
but know thou, that for all these things God will bring
thee into judgment. |
10
|
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away
evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. |
