Ecclesiastes - Chapter 11
  
  
| Ecc 11:1 | ¶ | Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:2 | | Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:3 | | 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 be. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:4 | | He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:5 | | 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. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:6 | | 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. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:7 | ¶ | Truly the light [is] sweet, and a pleasant [thing it is] for the eyes to behold the sun: |
  
  
| Ecc 11:8 | | 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. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:9 | ¶ | 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. |
  
  
| Ecc 11:10 | | Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity. |
