AFV2020 - Ecclesiastes - 11

11:1  Cast your bread upon the waters; for you shall find it after many days.

11:2  Give a share to seven, and also to eight; for you know not what evil shall be upon the earth.

11:3  If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if the tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall be.

11:4  He who watches the wind shall not sow; and he who regards the clouds shall not reap.

11:5  As you do not know what is the way of the spirit, or how the bones grow in the pregnant woman's womb; even so you do not know the works of God Who makes all.

11:6  In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know what shall be blessed, either this or that, or whether they both shall be fruitful in the same way.

11:7  And the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to behold the sun;

11:8  But if a man lives many years, and rejoices in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.

11:9  Rejoice, in your youth, O young man; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

11:10  Therefore remove vexation from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for youth and vigor are vanity.
