Ecclesiastes 11
</p>
<p>
<b>1. Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.</b>
<br/>
<b> 2. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall
be upon the earth.</b>
<br/>
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.
<br/>
<b>4. He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall
not reap.</b>
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
7. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
<br/>
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.
<br/>
<b>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.</b>
<br/>
10. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for
childhood and youth are vanity.
