Ecclesiastes 11 (BSB)
Cast Your Bread upon the Waters
1Cast your bread upon the waters,
for after many days you will find it again.
2Divide your portion among seven, or even eight,
for you do not know what disaster may befall the land.
3If the clouds are full,
they will pour out rain upon the earth;
whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,
in the place where it falls, there it will lie.
4He who watches the wind will fail to sow,
and he who observes the clouds will fail to reap.
5As you do not know the path of the wind,
in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
6Sow your seed in the morning,
and do not rest your hands in the evening,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that, or if both will equally prosper.
Enjoy Your Years
7Light is sweet,
and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
8So if a man lives many years,
let him rejoice in them all.
But let him remember the days of darkness,
for they will be many.
Everything to come is futile.
