Ecc 11:2Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

Ecc 11:4He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
Ecc 11:5As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor the structure of the parts of conception in her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

Ecc 11:7Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

Ecc 11:9Rejoice, O 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 thy eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Ecc 11:10Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
