| 11:1 | Cast <07971> (8761) thy bread <03899> upon <06440> the waters <04325>: for thou shalt find <04672> (8799) it after many <07230> days <03117>. {upon...: Heb. upon the face of the waters} |
| 11:2 | Give <05414> (8798) a portion <02506> to seven <07651>, and also to eight <08083>; for thou knowest <03045> (8799) not what evil <07451> shall be upon the earth <0776>. |
| 11:3 | If the clouds <05645> be full <04390> (8735) of rain <01653>, they empty <07324> (8686) [themselves] upon the earth <0776>: and if the tree <06086> fall <05307> (8799) toward the south <01864>, or toward the north <06828>, in the place <04725> where the tree <06086> falleth <05307> (8799), there it shall be <01933> (8799). |
| 11:4 | He that observeth <08104> (8802) the wind <07307> shall not sow <02232> (8799); and he that regardeth <07200> (8802) the clouds <05645> shall not reap <07114> (8799). |
| 11:5 | As thou knowest <03045> (8802) not what [is] the way <01870> of the spirit <07307>, [nor] how the bones <06106> [do grow] in the womb <0990> of her that is with child <04392>: even so thou knowest <03045> (8799) not the works <04639> of God <0430> who maketh <06213> (8799) all. |
| 11:6 | In the morning <01242> sow <02232> (8798) thy seed <02233>, and in the evening <06153> withhold <03240> (8686) not thine hand <03027>: for thou knowest <03045> (8802) not whether <0335> shall prosper <03787> (8799), either this or that, or whether they both <08147> [shall be] alike <0259> good <02896>. {shall prosper: Heb. shall be right} |
| 11:7 | Truly the light <0216> [is] sweet <04966>, and a pleasant <02896> [thing it is] for the eyes <05869> to behold <07200> (8800) the sun <08121>: |
| 11:8 | But if a man <0120> live <02421> (8799) many <07235> (8687) years <08141>, [and] rejoice <08055> (8799) in them all; yet let him remember <02142> (8799) the days <03117> of darkness <02822>; for they shall be many <07235> (8687). All that cometh <0935> (8804) [is] vanity <01892>. |
| 11:9 | Rejoice <08055> (8798), O young man <0970>, in thy youth <03208>; and let thy heart <03820> cheer <02895> (8686) thee in the days <03117> of thy youth <0979>, and walk <01980> (8761) in the ways <01870> of thine heart <03820>, and in the sight <04758> of thine eyes <05869>: but know <03045> (8798) thou, that for all these [things] God <0430> will bring <0935> (8686) thee into judgment <04941>. |
| 11:10 | Therefore remove <05493> (8685) sorrow <03708> from thy heart <03820>, and put away <05674> (8685) evil <07451> from thy flesh <01320>: for childhood <03208> and youth <07839> [are] vanity <01892>. {sorrow: or, anger} |
