# 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.
