Cast
thy
bread
upon
the
waters:
for
thou
shalt
find
it
after
many
days.
2
Give
a
portion
to
seven,
and
also
to
eight;
for
thou
knowest
not
what
evil
shall
be
upon
the
earth.
3
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
4
He
that
observeth
the
wind
shall
not
sow;
and
he
that
regardeth
the
clouds
shall
not
reap.
5
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.
6
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.
7
Truly
the
light
[is]
sweet,
and
a
pleasant
[thing
it
is]
for
the
eyes
to
behold
the
sun:
8
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.
9
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.
10
Therefore
remove
sorrow
from
thy
heart,
and
put
away
evil
from
thy
flesh:
for
childhood
and
youth
[are]
vanity.
