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.
