|

|
|
\q1

|
\v 2 Share it with seven, even eight people,
|
|
\q2 for you do not know what disasters are coming on the earth.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 If the clouds are full of rain,
|
|
\q2 they empty themselves on the earth,
|
|
\q1 and if a tree falls toward the south or toward the north,
|
|
\q2 wherever the tree falls, there it will remain.

|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 As you do not know the path of the wind,
|

|
|

|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 In the morning plant your seed;
|
|
\q2 until the evening, work with your hands as needed,
|
|
\q1 for you know not which will prosper,
|
|
\q2 whether morning or evening, or this or that,
|
|
\q2 or whether they will both alike be good.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Truly the light is sweet,
|
|
\q2 and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 If someone lives many years,
|
|
\q2 let him be happy in all of them,
|
|
\q1 but let him think about the coming days of darkness,
|
|
\q2 for they will be many.
|
|
\q1 Everything to come is vanishing vapor.

\v 9 Take joy, young man, in your youth,
|
|
\q2 and let your heart be joyful in the days of your youth.
|
|
\q1 Pursue the good desires of your heart,
|
|
\q2 and whatever is within the sight of your eyes.
|
|
\q1 However, know that God will bring you into judgment for all these things.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Drive anger away from your heart,
|
|
\q2 and ignore any pain in your body,
|
|
\q1 because youth and its strength are vapor.
