4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; And he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, Nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; Even so thou knowest not the work of God Who doeth all things. 6 In the morning sow thy seed, And in the evening withhold not thy hand; For thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, Or whether they both shall be alike good. 7 And the light is sweet, And a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun. 8 For if a man live many years, Let him rejoice in them all, And remember the days of darkness, For they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. 9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; And let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, And walk in the ways of thy heart, And in the sight of thine eyes; But know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. 10 Therefore remove vexation from thy heart, And put away evil from thy flesh; For childhood and youth are vanity.
