Ecclesiastes:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Send forth thy bread upon the face of the water :
for thou shalt find it after many days .
*
Give a portion to seven ,
and also to eight ;
for thou knowest not what evil there shall be upon the earth .
*
If the clouds be filled with rain ,
they pour it out upon the earth :
and if a tree fall southward ,
or if it fall northward ,
in the place where the tree shall fall ,
there it shall be .
*
He that observes the wind sows not ;
and he that looks at the clouds will not reap .
*
Among whom none knows what is the way of the wind :
as the bones are hid in the womb of a pregnant woman ,
so thou shalt not know the works of God ,
even all things whatsoever he shall do .
*
In the morning sow thy seed ,
and in the evening let not thine hand be slack :
for thou knowest not what sort shall prosper ,
whether this or that ,
or whether both shall be good alike .
*
Moreover the light is sweet ,
and it is good for the eyes to see the sun .
*
For even if a man should live many years ,
and rejoice in them all ;
yet let him remember the days of darkness ;
for they shall be many .
All that comes is vanity .
*
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 thy heart blameless ,
but not in the sight of thine eyes :
yet know that for all these things God will bring thee into judgement .
*
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart ,
and put away evil from thy flesh :
for youth and folly are vanity .
