Ecclesiastes:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Cast thy bread upon the waters :
for thou shalt find it after many days .
*
Give a portion to seven ,
and also to eight ;
for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth .
*
If the clouds be full of rain ,
they empty themselves upon the earth :
and if the tree fall toward the south ,
or toward the north ,
in the place where the tree falleth ,
there it shall be .
*
He that observeth the wind shall not sow ;
and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap .
*
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit ,
nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child :
even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all .
*
In the morning sow thy seed ,
and in the evening withhold not thine hand :
for thou knowest not whether shall prosper ,
either this or that ,
or whether they both shall be alike good .
*
Truly the light is sweet ,
and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun :
*
But if a man live many years ,
and rejoice in them all ;
yet let him remember the days of darkness ;
for they shall be many .
All that cometh 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 thine heart ,
and in the sight of thine eyes :
but know thou ,
that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment .
*
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart ,
and put away evil from thy flesh :
for childhood and youth are vanity .
