Ecclesiastes 11

Trust your goods far and wide at sea,

till you get good returns after a while.

Take shares in several ventures

you never know what will go wrong in this world.

When clouds are full of rain

they drench the earth;

as the stick falls, to south or north,

where the stick falls it lies.

He whose eye is on the wind will never sow;

he who studies clouds will never reap.

As you know not how the wind blows,

nor how a babe within the womb grows,

so you cannot know how God works,

God who is in everything.

Sow your seed in the morning of life,

and stay not your hand till evening;

you never know if this or that shall prosper,

or whether both shall have success. 7 Sweet is the light of life, and pleasant is it for the eyes to see the sun. 8 If a man live many years, let him have joy throughout them all; let him remember that the dark days will be many. All that comes after death is emptiness.

So rejoice in your youth, young man,

be blithe in the flower of your age;

follow your heart’s desir

and all that attracts you

[[but be sure that for all this God will bring you to account]];

banish all worries from your mind,

and keep your body free from pain

(for youth and manhood will not last)
