| 11 | Ecclesiastes | ||
| 1 | Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. | What a wise man does. Ec.11.1-8 | |
| 2 | Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what evil may happen on earth. | ||
| 3 | If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie. | ||
| 4 | He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap. | ||
| 5 | As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. | ||
| 6 | In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good. | ||
| 7 | Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun. | ||
| 8 | For if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity. | ||
| 9 | Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. | Advice to young people. Ec.11.9-12.8 | |
| 10 | Remove vexation from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity. | ||
