Ecclesiastes 11

Ecclesiastes Chapter 11 KJV

1Exhortations to charitableness. 7Death ought to be remembered in life, 9and the day of judgment in the days of youth.
1 Cast 1thy bread aupon the waters: 2for thou shalt find it after many days.
2 1Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for 2thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3 1If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4 1He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5 1As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor 2how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: 3even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
6 1In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: 2for thou knowest not whether ashall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
7 1Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
8 But 1if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; 2yet let him remember 3the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
9 1Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and 2walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: 3but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
10 Therefore 1remove asorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: 2for childhood and youth are vanity.
