1Send your bread upon the face of the waters, for after many days you will find it 2Give a portion to seven, even to eight, because you will not know what evil may be upon Earth 3If clouds will fill up, they will cast rain upon Earth, and if a tree has fallen unto the South or unto the place of the North, where the tree has fallen, there it will be 4He who watches the wind does not sow, and he who observes the clouds does not reap 5Because you do not know the way of the wind, for as the way of her who is pregnant of conception, so you will not know the works of LORD JEHOVAH, all that he made

6Every dawn sow your seed, and at evening do not remove your hand, because you do not know what will prosper, whether this or that, or if both are good together

7Sweet is the light and good for the eyes, and it is better to see the sun 8Because if a son of man will live many years, may he rejoice in all these and be reminded of the days of darkness, for they will be many. All that comes is futility

9In the days of your youth rejoice, young man, and it will be well for you, and walk in the ways of your heart and in the vision of your eyes, and know that in all these LORD JEHOVAH brings you into judgment 10Remove anger from your heart and separate evil from your flesh, because youth and ignorance are futility
