1 Cast H7971 thy bread H3899 upon H5921 H6440 the waters: H4325 for H3588 thou shalt find H4672 it after many H7230 days. H3117
2 Give H5414 a portion H2506 to seven, H7651 and also H1571 to eight; H8083 for H3588 thou knowest H3045 not H3808 what H4100 evil H7451 shall be H1961 upon H5921 the earth. H776
3 If H518 the clouds H5645 be full H4390 of rain, H1653 they empty H7324 themselves upon H5921 the earth: H776 and if H518 the tree H6086 fall H5307 toward the south, H1864 or H518 toward the north, H6828 in the place H4725 where the tree H6086 falleth H7945 H5307 , there H8033 it H1933 shall be.
4 He that observeth H8104 the wind H7307 shall not H3808 sow; H2232 and he that regardeth H7200 the clouds H5645 shall not H3808 reap. H7114
5 As H834 thou knowest H3045 not H369 what H4100 is the way H1870 of the spirit, H7307 nor how the bones H6106 do grow in the womb H990 of her that is with child: H4392 even so H3602 thou knowest H3045 not H3808 H853 the works H4639 of God H430 who H834 maketh H6213 H853 all. H3605
6 In the morning H1242 sow H2232 H853 thy seed, H2233 and in the evening H6153 withhold H5117 not H408 thine hand: H3027 for H3588 thou knowest H3045 not H369 whether H335 H2088 shall prosper, H3787 either this H2088 or H176 that, H2088 or whether H518 they both H8147 shall be alike H259 good. H2896
7 Truly the light H216 is sweet, H4966 and a pleasant H2896 thing it is for the eyes H5869 to behold H7200 H853 the sun: H8121
8 But H3588 if H518 a man H120 live H2421 many H7235 years, H8141 and rejoice H8055 in them all; H3605 yet let him remember H2142 H853 the days H3117 of darkness; H2822 for H3588 they shall be H1961 many. H7235 All H3605 that cometh H7945 H935 is vanity. H1892
9 Rejoice H8055 , O young man, H970 in thy youth; H3208 and let thy heart H3820 cheer H3190 thee in the days H3117 of thy youth, H979 and walk H1980 in the ways H1870 of thine heart, H3820 and in the sight H4758 of thine eyes: H5869 but know H3045 thou, that H3588 for H5921 all H3605 these H428 things God H430 will bring H935 thee into judgment. H4941
10 Therefore remove H5493 sorrow H3708 from thy heart H4480 H3820 , and put away H5674 evil H7451 from thy flesh H4480 H1320 : for H3588 childhood H3208 and youth H7839 are vanity. H1892
