Ecclesiastes 11

1Cast your bread upon the waters: for you shall find it after many days. 2Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for you knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3If the clouds be full of rain, they empty 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. 4He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5As you knowest not what the way of the spirit, how the bones in the womb of her that is with child: even so you knowest not the works of Elohim who maketh all. 6In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening withhold not your hand: for you knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both alike good. 7Truly the light sweet, and a pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun: 8But if a man live many years, rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh vanity. 9Rejoice, 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 Elohim will bring you into judgment. 10Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh: for childhood and youth vanity.
