\c 11
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 1 Give generously to others some of the money that you have;
|
||
|
|
\q2 if you do that, later you will get back an equal amount.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 Share some of what you have with seven or eight others,
|
||
|
|
\q2 because you do not know when you will experience a disaster and will need their help.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 3 It is true that when clouds are full of water,
|
||
|
|
\q2 they pour rain on the earth.
|
||
|
|
\q1 Similarly, wherever a tree falls on the ground,
|
||
|
|
\q2 that is where it will remain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 If farmers see in what direction the wind is blowing,
|
||
|
|
\q2 they will know whether it is wise at that time to plant things or not.
|
||
|
|
\q1 It is also true that if farmers look at the clouds and see that they are blowing from the west and will bring rain,
|
||
|
|
\q2 they will not try to harvest their crops on that day.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 5 We do not know where the wind comes from or where it goes,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and we do not know how bodies are formed in a woman's womb.
|
||
|
|
\q1 Similarly, God is the one who makes everything,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and we cannot fully understand what he does.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 Start planting your seeds in the morning,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and do not stop planting them until the evening,
|
||
|
|
\q1 because you do not know which ones will grow better,
|
||
|
|
\q2 the ones you plant in the morning or the ones you plant later in the day,
|
||
|
|
\q2 or whether both will grow well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 It is very delightful to be alive
|
||
|
|
\q2 and see the sun rise every morning.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 Even if people live for many years,
|
||
|
|
\q2 they should enjoy all of them.
|
||
|
|
\q1 But they should not forget that some day they will die
|
||
|
|
\q2 and then they will never be able to see any light again,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and they do not know what will happen to them after they die.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 9 You young people, be happy while you are still young.
|
||
|
|
\q2 Enjoy doing the things that you want to do.
|
||
|
|
\q1 But do not forget that God will judge you one day
|
||
|
|
\q2 concerning all the things that you do.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 10 So when you are young, do not worry about anything,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and do not pay attention to the pains that you have in your body,
|
||
|
|
\q1 because we will not remain young and strong forever.
