Cast Your Bread on the Waters

11Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it after many days.H7971H3899H6440H4325H4672H7230H3117 2Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.H5414H2506H7651H8083H3045H7451H776 3If 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.H5645H4390H1653H7324H776H6086H5307H1864H6828H4725H6086H5307H1933 4He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap.H8104H7307H2232H7200H5645H7114 5Just 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.H3045H1870H7307H6106H990H4392H3045H4639H430H6213 6Sow 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.H1242H2232H2233H6153H3240H3027H3045H335H3787H8147H259H2896 7The light is pleasant, and [it is] good for the eyes to see the sun.H216H4966H2896H5869H7200H8121 8Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. Everything that is to come [will be] futility.H120H2421H7235H8141H8055H2142H3117H2822H7235H935H1892 9Rejoice, 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.H8055H970H3208H3820H2895H3117H979H1980H1870H3820H4758H5869H3045H430H935H4941 10So, remove vexation from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting.H5493H3708H3820H5674H7451H1320H3208H7839H1892
