11 Ship your grain across the
sea;
after many days you may receive a
return.
2 Invest in seven ventures, yes, in
eight;
you do not know what disaster may come upon the
land.
3 If clouds are
full of water,
they pour rain on the earth.
Whether a tree falls to the south or
to the north,
in the place where it falls, there it will
lie.
4 Whoever watches the wind will not
plant;
whoever looks at the clouds will not
reap.
5 As you do not
know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed[a] in
a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of
God,
the Maker of all things.
6 Sow your seed
in the morning,
and at evening let your hands not be
idle,
for you do not know which will
succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally
well.
7 Light is sweet,
and it pleases the eyes to see the
sun.
8 However many years anyone may
live,
let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember the days of
darkness,
for there will be many.
Everything to come is
meaningless.
