Cast
Your Bread on the Waters |
|
|
 |
| Ecclesiastes 11:1 |

Cast your bread on the surface of the waters,
for you will find it after many days. |
|
|

|
Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight,
for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth. |
| |
|
|
| Ecclesiastes 11:3 |

If the clouds are full, they pour out rain upon
the earth; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever
the tree falls, there it lies. |
| |

|
| Ecclesiastes 11:4 |
|
He who watches the wind will not sow and he
who looks at the clouds will not reap. |
| |
|
|
| Ecclesiastes 11:5 |

Just as you do not know the path of the wind
and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know
the activity of God who makes all things. |
| |
|
|
| Ecclesiastes 11:6 |
|
Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle
in the evening, for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed,
or whether both of them alike will be good. |

The light is pleasant, and it is good for the
eyes to see the sun. |

Indeed, if a man should live many years, let
him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will
be many. Everything that is to come will be futility. |
|
|
|
| Ecclesiastes 11:9 |
|
Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and
let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses
of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to
judgment for all these things. |
|
|
|
| Ecclesiastes 11:10 |
|
So, remove grief and anger from your heart and
put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting. |
