Ecclesiastes 11

1

Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days.

2

Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

3

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

4

He that observeth the wind will not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds will not reap.

5

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, how the bones [grow] in the womb of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the work of God who maketh all.

6

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

7

Now the light is sweet, and pleasant is it to the eyes to see the sun;

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.

9

Rejoice, young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment.

10

Then remove discontent from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.

Ecclesiastes 12

1

And remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, of which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

2

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

3

in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows are darkened,

4

and the doors are shut toward the street; when the sound of the grinding is subdued, and they rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

5

they are also afraid of what is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the grasshopper is a burden, and the caper-berry is without effect; (for man goeth to his age-long home, and the mourners go about the streets;)

6

-- before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be shattered at the fountain, or the wheel be broken at the cistern;

7

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

8

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher: all is vanity.

9

And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, and sought out, [and] set in order many proverbs.

10

The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words; and that which was written is upright, words of truth.

11

The words of the wise are as goads, and the collections [of them] as nails fastened in: they are given from one shepherd.

12

And besides, my son, be warned by them: of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13

Let us hear the end of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole of man.

14

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.
