The Value of Diligence

11Send out your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will get it back.H7971H3899H6440H4325H4672H7230H3117 2Divide your means seven ways, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may happen on earth.H5414H2506H7651H8083H3045H7451H776 3When clouds are full, they empty rain on the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.H5645H4390H1653H7324H776H6086H5307H1864H6828H4725H6086H5307H1933 4Whoever observes the wind will not sow; and whoever regards the clouds will not reap.H8104H7307H2232H7200H5645H7114 5Just as you do not know how the breath comes to the bones in the mother's womb, so you do not know the work of God, who makes everything.H3045H1870H7307H6106H990H4392H3045H4639H430H6213 6In the morning sow your seed, and at evening do not let your hands be idle; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.H1242H2232H2233H6153H3240H3027H3045H335H3787H8147H259H2896

7Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.H216H4966H2896H5869H7200H8121 8Even those who live many years should rejoice in them all; yet let them remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.H120H2421H7235H8141H8055H2142H3117H2822H7235H935H1892 9Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Follow the inclination of your heart and the desire of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.H8055H970H3208H3820H2895H3117H979H1980H1870H3820H4758H5869H3045H430H935H4941 10Banish anxiety from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.H5493H3708H3820H5674H7451H1320H3208H7839H1892
