Chapter 11
1
Cast your bread on the water; at long last you will find it again.
2
Share with seven, yes with eight, for you never know what disaster may occur on earth.
3
When clouds are full of rain, They empty it out on the earth. Let the tree fall south or north, where the tree falls there it lies.
4
Keep watching the wind and you will never sow, stare at the clouds and you will never reap.
5
Just as you do not know the way of the wind or the mysteries of a woman with child, no more can you know the work of God who is behind it all.
6
In the morning sow your seed, do not let your hands lie idle in the evening. For which will prove successful, this or that, you cannot tell; and it may be that both will turn out well together.
Old age
7
Light is sweet; at sight of the sun the eyes are glad.
8
However great the number of the years a man may live, let him enjoy them all, and yet remember that dark days will be many. All that is to come is vanity.
9
Rejoice in your youth, you who are young; let your heart give you joy in your young days. Follow the promptings of your heart and the desires of your eyes. But this you must know: for all these things God will bring you to judgement.
10
Cast worry from your heart, shield your flesh from pain. Yet youth, the age of dark hair, is vanity.
