Ecclesiastes 11:4-10

⁴He that observes the wind sows not; and he that looks at the clouds will not reap.

⁵Amongst whom none knows what is the way of the wind: as the bones are hid in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you shall not know the works of God, even all things whatever he shall do.

⁶In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening let not your hand be slack: for you know not what sort shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether both shall be good alike.

⁷Moreover the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.

⁸For even if a man should live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.

⁹Rejoice, O young man, in your youth; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart blameless, but not in the sight of your eyes: yet know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement.

¹⁰Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh: for youth and folly are vanity.
