11 Send bread_your on the _surface the_waters if/because in/on/at/with_many the_days find_it.
2 Give a _portion to_seven and_also to_eight if/because not you _know what will _it _be calamity on the_earth/land.
3 If they _will _be _filled the_clouds rain on the_earth/land they _will _pour _[it]_out and_if it _falls a _tree in/on/at/with_south and_if in/on/at/with_north the _place where_falls the_tree there it _will _become.
4 [one _who]_watches of _a _wind not he _will _sow and_looks in/on/at/with_clouds not he _will _reap.
5 Just_as not_you [are]_knowing what [is]_the _way the_wind to_bones in/on/at/with_womb the_pregnant thus not you _know DOM the _work the_ʼElohīm who he _makes DOM the_everything.
6 In/on/at/with_morning sow DOM seed_your and_at _the_evening do _not give _rest _to hands_your if/because not_you [are]_knowing[fn] where this will _it _succeed whether_this or this and_if both _of_them as_equal [be]_good.
7 And_sweet the_light and_good for _the_eyes to_see DOM the_sun.
8 If/because if years many he _will _live the_humankind in/on/at/with_all_them let _him _take _pleasure and_remember DOM the _days the_darkness if/because many they _will _be all that_comes [is]_futility.

9 Take _pleasure Oh _young _man in/on/at/with_young_you and_cheer_you heart_your in/on/at/with_days youth_your and_walk in/on/at/with_ways heart_your and_in/on/at/with_desire eyes_your and_know if/because _that on all these _[things] bring_you the_ʼElohīm in/on/at/with_judgement.
10 And_banish vexation from_heart_your and_put _away evil from_body_your if/because the_youth and_the_prime _of _life [are]_futility.

11:6 Note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.
