Cast
your bread upon the waters,
For
after many days you will find it again.
2 Give
portions to seven, yes to eight,
For
you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
3 If
clouds are full of water,
They
pour rain upon the Earth.
Whether
a tree falls to the south or to the north,
In the
place where it falls, there it will lie.
4
Whoever watches the wind will not plant;
Whoever
looks at the clouds will not reap.
5 As
you do not know the path of the wind,
Or how
the body is formed in a mother's womb,
So you
cannot under stand the Work of God,
The
Maker of all things.
6 Sow
your seed in the morning,
And at
evening let not your hands be idle,
For
you do not know which will succeed,
Whether
this or that,
Or
whether both will do equally well.
Remember
Your Creator While Young
7
Light is sweet,
And it
pleases the eye to see the sun.
8
However many years a man may live,
Let
him enjoy them all.
But
let him remember the days of Darkness,
For
they will be many.
EVERYTHING
TO COME IS MEANINGLESS.
9 Be
happy, young man, while you are young,
And
let your heart give you joy
In the
days of your youth.
Follow
the ways of your heart
And
whatever your eyes see,
But
know that for all these things
GOD
WILL BRING YOU TO JUDGMENT.
10 So
then, banish anxiety from your heart
And
cast off the troubles of your body,
FOR
YOUTH AND VIGOR ARE MEANINGLESS.
(Ecclesiastes
11)
