Ecclesiastes:11

* Cast your bread upon the waters , for you will find it after many days . * Give a portion to seven , and even to eight . You do not know what calamity will be upon the earth . * If the clouds are full of rain they empty themselves upon the earth . If the tree falls toward the south , or toward the north , in the place where the tree falls , there it will be . * He who observes the wind will not sow and he that regards the clouds will not reap . * You do not know what is the way of the wind , nor how the bones grow in the womb of a pregnant woman . Even so you do not know the works of God who creates all . * In the morning sow your seed . In the evening do not withhold your hand . For you do not know which shall prosper . Whether they both will alike be good . * Truly the light is sweet , and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to behold the sun . * If a man live many years , and rejoice in them all ; yet let him remember the days of darkness for they will be many . All that comes is vanity . * Rejoice , O young man , in your youth . Let your heart cheer you in your early days . Walk in the ways of your heart , and in the desires of your eyes . Yet you know that God will bring you into judgment for all these things . * Therefore remove sorrow from your heart , and put away evil from your flesh , for childhood and youth are vanity .
