Cast thy
bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it
after many days.
02 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight;
for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the
earth.
03 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.
04 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and
he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
05 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.
06 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.

07 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing
it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
08 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.
09 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.
