21:010:015 The labour of the foolish wearieth every
one of them, because
he
knoweth not how to go to the city.
21:010:016 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a
child, and thy princes
eat
in the morning!
21:010:017 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king
is the son of nobles,
and
thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not
for
drunkenness!
21:010:018 By much slothfulness the building decayeth;
and through
idleness
of the hands the house droppeth through.
21:010:019 A feast is made for laughter, and wine
maketh merry: but money
answereth
all things.
21:010:020 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought;
and curse not the
rich
in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall
carry the
voice,
and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
21:011:001 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for
thou shalt find it after
many
days.
21:011:002 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight;
for thou knowest
not
what evil shall be upon the earth.
21:011:003 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty
themselves upon the
earth:
and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the
north,
in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall
be.
21:011:004 He that observeth the wind shall not sow;
and he that
regardeth
the clouds shall not reap.
21:011:005 As thou knowest not what is the way of
the spirit, nor how the
bones
do grow in the womb of her that is with child:
even so
thou
knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
21:011:006 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the
evening withhold not
thine
hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper,
either
this
or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
21:011:007 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant
thing it is for the
eyes
to behold the sun:
21:011:008 But if a man live many years, and rejoice
in them all; yet let
him
remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many.
All
that
cometh is vanity.
21:011:009 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and
let thy heart cheer
thee
in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine
heart,
and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou,
that for
all
these things God will bring thee into judgment.
21:011:010 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart,
and put away evil from
thy
flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
21:012:001 Remember now thy Creator in the days of
thy youth, while the
evil
days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt
say,
I have no pleasure in them;
