[1] Cast your bread on the waters;
for you shall find it after many days.
[2] Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight;
for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.
[3] If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth;
and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.
[4] He who observes the wind won’t sow;
and he who regards the clouds won’t reap.
[5] As you don’t know what is the way of the wind,
nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;
even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.
[6] In the morning sow your seed,
and in the evening don’t withhold your hand;
for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that,
or whether they both will be equally good.
[7] Truly the light is sweet,
and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
[8] Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all;
but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many.
All that comes is vanity.
[9] Rejoice, young man, in your youth,
and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth,
and walk in the ways of your heart,
and in the sight of your eyes;
but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
[10] Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
and put away evil from your flesh;
for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
for you shall find it after many days.

[1] CastH7971(PielImpv) thy breadH3899 uponH6440 the waters:H4325 for thou shalt findH4672(QalImpf) it after manyH7230 days.H3117 [2] GiveH5414(QalImpv) a portionH2506 to seven,H7651 and also to eight;H8083 for thou knowestH3045(QalImpf) not what evilH7451 shall be upon the earth.H776 [3] If the cloudsH5645 be fullH4390(NiphImpf) of rain,H1653 they emptyH7324(HiphImpf) [themselves] upon the earth:H776 and if the treeH6086 fallH5307(QalImpf) toward the south,H1864 or toward the north,H6828 in the placeH4725 where the treeH6086 falleth,H5307(QalImpf) there it shall be.H1933(QalImpf) [4] He that observethH8104(QalActPtc) the windH7307 shall not sow;H2232(QalImpf) and he that regardethH7200(QalActPtc) the cloudsH5645 shall not reap.H7114(QalImpf) [5] As thou knowestH3045(QalActPtc) not what [is] the wayH1870 of the spirit,H7307 [nor] how the bonesH6106 [do grow] in the wombH990 of her that is with child:H4392 even so thou knowestH3045(QalImpf) not the worksH4639 of GodH430 who makethH6213(QalImpf) all. [6] In the morningH1242 sowH2232(QalImpv) thy seed,H2233 and in the eveningH6153 withholdH3240(HiphImpf) not thine hand:H3027 for thou knowestH3045(QalActPtc) not whetherH335 shall prosper,H3787(QalImpf) either this or that, or whether they bothH8147 [shall be] alikeH259 good.H2896 [7] Truly the lightH216 [is] sweet,H4966 and a pleasantH2896 [thing it is] for the eyesH5869 to beholdH7200(QalInf) the sun:H8121 [8] But if a manH120 liveH2421(QalImpf) manyH7235(HiphInf) years,H8141 [and] rejoiceH8055(QalImpf) in them all; yet let him rememberH2142(QalImpf) the daysH3117 of darkness;H2822 for they shall be many.H7235(HiphInf) All that comethH935(QalPerf) [is] vanity.H1892 [9] Rejoice,H8055(QalImpv) O young man,H970 in thy youth;H3208 and let thy heartH3820 cheerH2895(HiphImpf) thee in the daysH3117 of thy youth,H979 and walkH1980(PielImpv) in the waysH1870 of thine heart,H3820 and in the sightH4758 of thine eyes:H5869 but knowH3045(QalImpv) thou, that for all these [things] GodH430 will bringH935(HiphImpf) thee into judgment.H4941 [10] Therefore removeH5493(HiphImpv) sorrowH3708 from thy heart,H3820 and put awayH5674(HiphImpv) evilH7451 from thy flesh:H1320 for childhoodH3208 and youthH7839 [are] vanity.H1892
