< Ecclesiastes 11 >
1 Cast thy bread vpon the waters: for after many daies thou shalt finde it.
Send bread your on [the] surface of the waters for in [the] abundance of days you will find it.
2 Giue a portion to seuen, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what euill shalbe vpon ye earth.
Give a portion to seven and also to eight for not you know what? will it be calamity on the earth.
3 If the clouds be full, they wil powre forth raine vpon the earth: and if the tree doe fall toward the South, or toward the North, in the place that the tree falleth, there it shalbe.
If they will be filled the clouds rain on the earth they will pour [it] out and whether it falls a tree at the south and or at the north [the] place where it falls the tree there it will be.
4 He that obserueth ye winde, shall not sow, and he that regardeth the cloudes, shall not reape.
[one who] watches for A wind not he will sow and [one who] looks on the clouds not he will reap.
5 As thou knowest not which is ye way of the spirit, nor how the bones doe growe in the wombe of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the worke of God that worketh all.
Just as not you [are] knowing what? [is] [the] way of the wind like bones in [the] womb of the full [woman] thus not you know [the] work of God who he makes everything.
6 In the morning sowe thy seede, and in the euening let not thine hand rest: for thou knowest not whither shall prosper, this or that, or whether both shalbe a like good.
In the morning sow seed your and to the evening may not you give rest to hand your for not you [are] knowing where? this will it succeed ¿ this or? this and or? [will] both of them as one [be] good.
7 Surely the light is a pleasant thing: and it is a good thing to the eyes to see the sunne.
And [is] sweet the light and [is] good for the eyes to see the sun.
8 Though a man liue many yeeres, and in them all he reioyce, yet hee shall remember the daies of darkenesse, because they are manie, all that commeth is vanitie.
That except years [surely] a multitude will live person in all of them let him be take pleasure and he may remember [the] days of darkness for [surely] many will be all that has come [is] futility.
9 Reioyce, O yong man, in thy youth, and let thine heart cheere thee in the dayes of thy youth: and walke in the waies of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but knowe that for all these things, God wil bring thee to iudgement.
Rejoice O young man in youth your and let it make good you heart your in [the] days of youth your and walk in [the] ways of heart your and in [the] sight of eyes your and know that on all these [things] he will bring you God in judgment.
10 Therefore take away griefe out of thine heart, and cause euil to depart from thy flesh: for childehood and youth are vanitie.
And remove vexation from heart your and put away evil from flesh your for youth and the black hair [are] futility.
