Ecclesiastes 11

KJV

1  Cast7971 thy bread3899 upon5921 6440 the waters:4325 for3588 thou shalt find4672 it after many7230 days.3117

2  Give5414 a portion2506 to seven,7651 and also1571 to eight;8083 for3588 thou knowest3045 not3808 what4100 evil7451 shall be1961 upon5921 the earth.776

3  If518 the clouds5645 be full4390 of rain,1653 they empty7324 themselves upon5921 the earth:776 and if518 the tree6086 fall5307 toward the south,1864 or518 toward the north,6828 in the place4725 where the tree6086 falleth,7945 5307 there8033 it1933 shall be.

4  He that observeth8104 the wind7307 shall not3808 sow;2232 and he that regardeth7200 the clouds5645 shall not3808 reap.7114

5  As834 thou knowest3045 not369 what4100 is the way1870 of the spirit,7307 nor how the bones6106 do grow in the womb990 of her that is with child:4392 even so3602 thou knowest3045 not3808 853 the works4639 of God430 who834 maketh6213 853 all.3605

6  In the morning1242 sow2232 853 thy seed,2233 and in the evening6153 withhold5117 not408 thine hand:3027 for3588 thou knowest3045 not369 whether335 2088 shall prosper,3787 either this2088 or176 that,2088 or whether518 they both8147 shall be alike259 good.2896

7  Truly the light216 is sweet,4966 and a pleasant2896 thing it is for the eyes5869 to behold7200 853 the sun:8121

8  But3588 if518 a man120 live2421 many7235 years,8141 and rejoice8055 in them all;3605 yet let him remember2142 853 the days3117 of darkness;2822 for3588 they shall be1961 many.7235 All3605 that cometh7945 935 is vanity.1892

9  Rejoice,8055 O young man,970 in thy youth;3208 and let thy heart3820 cheer3190 thee in the days3117 of thy youth,979 and walk1980 in the ways1870 of thine heart,3820 and in the sight4758 of thine eyes:5869 but know3045 thou, that3588 for5921 all3605 these428 things God430 will bring935 thee into judgment.4941

10  Therefore remove5493 sorrow3708 from thy heart,4480 3820 and put away5674 evil7451 from thy flesh:4480 1320 for3588 childhood3208 and youth7839 are vanity.1892

1 ἀπόστειλον τὸν ἄρτον σου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ ὕδατος ὅτι ἐν πλήθει τῶν ἡμερῶν εὑρήσεις αὐτόν

2 δὸς μερίδα τοῖς ἑπτὰ καί γε τοῖς ὀκτώ ὅτι οὐ γινώσκεις τί ἔσται πονηρὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

3 ἐὰν πληρωθῶσιν τὰ νέφη ὑετοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκχέουσιν καὶ ἐὰν πέσῃ ξύλον ἐν τῷ νότῳ καὶ ἐὰν ἐν τῷ βορρᾷ τόπῳ οὗ πεσεῖται τὸ ξύλον ἐκεῖ ἔσται

4 τηρῶν ἄνεμον οὐ σπερεῖ καὶ βλέπων ἐν ταῖς νεφέλαις οὐ θερίσει

5 ἐν οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν γινώσκων τίς ἡ ὁδὸς τοῦ πνεύματος ὡς ὀστᾶ ἐν γαστρὶ τῆς κυοφορούσης οὕτως οὐ γνώσῃ τὰ ποιήματα τοῦ θεοῦ ὅσα ποιήσει σὺν τὰ πάντα

6 ἐν πρωίᾳ σπεῖρον τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ εἰς ἑσπέραν μὴ ἀφέτω ἡ χείρ σου ὅτι οὐ γινώσκεις ποῖον στοιχήσει ἢ τοῦτο ἢ τοῦτο καὶ ἐὰν τὰ δύο ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἀγαθά

7 καὶ γλυκὺ τὸ φῶς καὶ ἀγαθὸν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς τοῦ βλέπειν σὺν τὸν ἥλιον

8 ὅτι καὶ ἐὰν ἔτη πολλὰ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐν πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς εὐφρανθήσεται καὶ μνησθήσεται τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ σκότους ὅτι πολλαὶ ἔσονται πᾶν τὸ ἐρχόμενον ματαιότης

9 εὐφραίνου νεανίσκε ἐν νεότητί σου καὶ ἀγαθυνάτω σε ἡ καρδία σου ἐν ἡμέραις νεότητός σου καὶ περιπάτει ἐν ὁδοῖς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐν ὁράσει ὀφθαλμῶν σου καὶ γνῶθι ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις ἄξει σε ὁ θεὸς ἐν κρίσει

10 καὶ ἀπόστησον θυμὸν ἀπὸ καρδίας σου καὶ παράγαγε πονηρίαν ἀπὸ σαρκός σου ὅτι ἡ νεότης καὶ ἡ ἄνοια ματαιότης

1 [Mitte panem tuum super transeuntes aquas,
quia post tempora multa invenies illum.

2 Da partem septem necnon et octo,
quia ignoras quid futurum sit mali super terram.

3 Si repletæ fuerint nubes,
imbrem super terram effundent.
Si ceciderit lignum ad austrum aut ad aquilonem,
in quocumque loco ceciderit, ibi erit.

4 Qui observat ventum non seminat;
et qui considerat nubes numquam metet.

5 Quomodo ignoras quæ sit via spiritus,
et qua ratione compingantur ossa in ventre prægnantis,
sic nescis opera Dei,
qui fabricator est omnium.

6 Mane semina semen tuum,
et vespere ne cesset manus tua:
quia nescis quid magis oriatur, hoc aut illud;
et si utrumque simul, melius erit.]

7 [Dulce lumen,
et delectabile est oculis videre solem.

8 Si annis multis vixerit homo,
et in his omnibus lætatus fuerit,
meminisse debet tenebrosi temporis, et dierum multorum,
qui cum venerint, vanitatis arguentur præterita.

9 Lætare ergo, juvenis, in adolescentia tua,
et in bono sit cor tuum in diebus juventutis tuæ:
et ambula in viis cordis tui,
et in intuitu oculorum tuorum,
et scito quod pro omnibus his adducet te Deus in judicium.

10 Aufer iram a corde tuo,
et amove malitiam a carne tua:
adolescentia enim et voluptas vana sunt.]
