52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Ecclesiastes 11

1

Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.

2

Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what evil may happen on earth.

3

If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

4

He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

5

As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

6

In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.

7

Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun.

8

For if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.

9

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

10

Remove vexation from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

Ecclesiastes 12

1

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";

2

before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain;

3

in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows are dimmed,

4

and the doors on the street are shut; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

5

they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

6

before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

7

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

8

Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

9

Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care.

10

The Preacher sought to find pleasing words, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.

11

The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings which are given by one Shepherd.

12

My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13

The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

14

For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
