CHAPTER 11

Cast

your bread

upon

the waters,

for

after many

days

you will find it again.

Divide

your portion

among seven,

or even

eight,

for

you do not

know

what

disaster

may befall

the land.

If

the clouds

are full,

they will pour out

rain

upon

the earth;

whether

a tree

falls

to the south

or

the north,

in the place

where it

falls,

there

it will lie.

He who watches

the wind

will fail

to sow,

and he who observes

the clouds

will fail

to reap.

As

you do not

know

the path

of the wind,

or how the bones are formed

in a mother’s

womb,

so

you cannot

understand

the work

of God,

the Maker

of all things.

Sow

your seed

in the morning,

and do not

rest

your hands

in the evening,

for

you do not

know

which

will succeed,

whether this

or

that,

or if

both

will equally

prosper.

Light

is sweet,

and it pleases

the eyes

to see

the sun.

So

if

a man

lives

many

years,

let him rejoice

in them all;

but let him remember

the days

of darkness,

for

they will be

many.

Everything

to come

is futile.

Rejoice,

O young man,

while you are young,

and let your heart

be glad

in the days

of your youth.

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

to judgment.

So banish

sorrow

from your heart,

and cast off

pain

from your body,

for

youth

and vigor

are fleeting.
