Ecclesiastes 11

Revised Version 1895

1CastH7971 thy breadH3899 uponH5921 the watersH4325: for thou shalt findH4672 it afterH5921 manyH7230 daysH3117. 2GiveH5414 a portionH2506 to sevenH7651, yeaH3588, evenH1571 unto eightH8083; for thou knowest notH3808 whatH4100 evilH7451 shall be uponH5921 the earthH776. 3IfH518 the cloudsH5645 be fullH4390 of rainH1653, they empty themselvesH5921 uponH5921 the earthH776: and ifH518 a treeH6086 fallH5307 towardH5921 the southH1864, or towardH5921 the northH6828, in the placeH4725 whereH8033 the treeH6086 falleth, there shall it be. 4He that observeth the windH7307 shall notH3808 sowH2232; and he that regardeth the cloudsH5645 shall notH3808 reapH7114. 5As thou knowest notH3808 whatH4100 is the wayH1870 of the windH7307, norH3808 howH4100 the bonesH6106 doH6213 grow in the wombH990 of herH3605 that is with child; evenH3808 soH6213 thou knowest notH3808 the workH4639 of GodH430 who doeth allH3605. 6In the morningH1242 sowH2232 thy seedH2233, and in the eveningH6153 withholdH259 notH369 thine handH3027: for thou knowest notH369 whichH2088 shall prosper, whetherH518 this or that, or whetherH518 they bothH8147 shall be alikeH259 goodH2896. 7Truly the lightH216 is sweetH4966, and a pleasantH4966 thing it is for the eyesH5869 to beholdH7200 the sunH8121. 8YeaH3588, ifH518 a manH120 liveH2421 manyH7235 yearsH8141, letH8055 him rejoiceH8055 in them allH3605; but letH8055 him rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of darknessH2822, for they shall be manyH7235. AllH3605 that cometh is vanityH1892. 9RejoiceH8055, O youngH970 manH970, in thy youthH979; and letH8055 thy heartH3820 cheerH3190 thee in the daysH3117 of thy youthH979, and walkH1980 in the waysH1870 of thine heartH3820, and in the sightH5869 of thine eyesH5869: but knowH3045 thou, that for allH3605 theseH428 things GodH430 will bringH935 thee intoH935 judgmentH4941. 10Therefore removeH5493 sorrow from thy heartH3820, and putH5493 awayH5493 evilH7451 from thy fleshH1320: for youthH3208 and the primeH7839 of lifeH3820 are vanityH1892.
