Ecclesiastes 11 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Ecc 11:1Cast your bread on the waters; For you shall find it after many days.
Ecc 11:2Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; For you don't know what evil will be on the eretz.
Ecc 11:3If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the eretz; And if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, In the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.
Ecc 11:4He who observes the wind won't sow; And he who regards the clouds won't reap.
Ecc 11:5As you don't know what is the way of the wind, Nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; Even so you don't know the work of God who does all.
Ecc 11:6In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening don't withhold your hand; For you don't know which will prosper, whether this or that, Or whether they both will be equally good.
Ecc 11:7Truly the light is sweet, And a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.
Ecc 11:8Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; But let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.
Ecc 11:9Rejoice, young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, And walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Ecc 11:10Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh; For youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
