111 Cast your bread on the surface of the waters , for you will find it after many days . 2 Divide your portion to seven , or even to eight , for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth . 3 If the clouds are full , they pour out rain upon the earth ; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north , wherever the tree falls , there it lies . 4 He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap . 5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman , so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things . 6 Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle e in the evening , for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed , or whether both of them alike will be good .
7 The light is pleasant , and it is good for the eyes to see the sun . 8 Indeed , if a man should live many years , let him rejoice in them all , and let him remember the days of darkness , for they will be many . Everything that is to come will be futility .
9 Rejoice , young man , during your childhood , and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood . And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes . Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things . 10 So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body , because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting .
