1Cast7971 thy bread3899 upon6440 the waters4325: for thou shalt find4672 it after many7230 days3117.
2Give5414 a portion2506 to seven7651, and also to eight8083; for thou knowest3045 not what evil7451 shall be upon the earth776.
3If the clouds5645 be full4390 of rain1653, they empty7324 themselves upon the earth776: and if the tree6086 fall5307 toward the south1864, or toward the north6828, in the place4725 where the tree6086 falleth5307, there it shall be1933.
4He that observeth8104 the wind7307 shall not sow2232; and he that regardeth7200 the clouds5645 shall not reap7114.
5As thou knowest3045 not what is the way1870 of the spirit7307, nor how the bones6106 do grow in the womb990 of her that is with child4392: even so thou knowest3045 not the works4639 of God430 who maketh6213 all.
6In the morning1242 sow2232 thy seed2233, and in the evening6153 withhold3240 not thine hand3027: for thou knowest3045 not whether335 shall prosper3787, either this or that, or whether they both8147 shall be alike259 good2896.
7Truly the light216 is sweet4966, and a pleasant2896 thing it is for the eyes5869 to behold7200 the sun8121:
8But if a man120 live2421 many7235 years8141, and rejoice8055 in them all; yet let him remember2142 the days3117 of darkness2822; for they shall be many7235. All that cometh935 is vanity1892.
9Rejoice8055, O young man970, in thy youth3208; and let thy heart3820 cheer2895 thee in the days3117 of thy youth979, and walk1980 in the ways1870 of thine heart3820, and in the sight4758 of thine eyes5869: but know3045 thou, that for all these things God430 will bring935 thee into judgment4941.
10Therefore remove5493 sorrow3708 from thy heart3820, and put away5674 evil7451 from thy flesh1320: for childhood3208 and youth7839 are vanity1892.
