# Chapter 11
|
||
1 Send your bread on the surface of the water,
|
||
for after many days you may find it.
|
||
2 Give a portion to seven or even to eight,
|
||
for you don’t know what disaster may happen on earth.
|
||
3 If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain on the earth;
|
||
whether a tree falls to the south or the north,
|
||
the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
|
||
4 One who watches the wind will not sow,
|
||
and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.
|
||
5 Just as you don’t know the path of the wind,
|
||
or how bones develop in the womb of a pregnant woman,
|
||
so also you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.
|
||
6 In the morning sow your seed,
|
||
and at evening do not let your hand rest,
|
||
because you don’t know which will succeed,
|
||
whether one or the other,
|
||
or if both of them will be equally good.
|
||
7 Light is sweet,
|
||
and it is pleasing for the eyes to see the sun.
|
||
8 Indeed, if someone lives many years,
|
||
let him rejoice in them all,
|
||
and let him remember the days of darkness, since they will be many.
|
||
All that comes is futile.
|
||
9 Rejoice, young person, while you are young,
|
||
and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth.
|
||
And walk in the ways of your heart
|
||
and in the desire of your eyes;
|
||
but know that for all of these things God will bring you to judgment.
|
||
10 Remove sorrow from your heart,
|
||
and put away pain from your flesh,
|
||
because youth and the prime of life are fleeting. |
