Ecc 11:1

Ecc 11:4

Ecc 11:4He that observeth the wind will not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds will not reap.

Ecc 11:5

Ecc 11:9

Ecc 11:9Rejoice, 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 that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

Ecc 11:10Then remove discontent from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
