| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3If 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap. |

| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Indeed, 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Rejoice, 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting. |
