Ecclesiastes, Chapter 11

¹ Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it^a Lit in, withinafter many days. ² Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth. ³ If the clouds are full, they pour out rain upon the earth; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it^b Lit islies. ⁴ He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap. ⁵ Just as you do not know^cthe path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the^d Lit fullpregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.	1 Deu 15:10 Pro 19:17 Mat 10:42 Gal 6:9 Heb 6:10 Deu 15:10 Pro 19:17 Mat 10:42 Gal 6:9 Heb 6:10 2 Psa 112:9 Mat 5:42 Luk 6:30 Ti1 6:18 Ti1 6:19 Ecc 11:8 Ecc 12:1 5 Joh 3:8 Psa 139:13-16 Ecc 1:13 Ecc 3:10 Ecc 3:11 Ecc 8:17
⁶ Sow your seed in the morning and do not^e Lit let down your handbe idle in the evening, for you do not know whether^f Lit this or thatmorning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.	6 Ecc 9:10
⁷ The light is pleasant, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun. ⁸ Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility.	7 Ecc 6:5 Ecc 7:11 8 Ecc 9:7 Ecc 12:1
⁹ Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the^g Lit waysimpulses of your heart and the^h Lit sightsdesires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things. ¹⁰ So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put awayⁱ Lit evilpain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting.	9 Num 15:39 Job 31:7 Ecc 2:10 Ecc 3:17 Ecc 12:14 Rom 14:10 10 Co2 7:1 Ti2 2:22
