1Send <07971> your grain <03899> overseas <04325> <06440> <05921>, for <03588> after many <07230> days <03117> you will get a return <04672>.
2Divide <05414> your merchandise <02506> among seven <07651> or even <01571> eight <08083> investments, for <03588> you do not <03808> know <03045> what <04100> calamity <07451> may happen <01961> on <05921> earth <0776>.
3If <0518> the clouds <05645> are full <04390> of rain <01653>, they will empty <07324> themselves on <05921> the earth <0776>, and whether <0518> a tree <06086> falls <05307> to the south <01864> or <0518> to the north <06828>, the tree <06086> will lie <05307> wherever <04725> it falls <01933>.
4He who watches <08104> the wind <07307> will not <03808> sow <02232>, and he who observes <07200> the clouds <05645> will not <03808> reap <07114>.
5Just <0834> as you do not <0369> know <03045> the path <01870> of the wind <07307>, or how <04100> the bones <06106> form <04392> in the womb <0990> of a pregnant woman, so <03602> you do not <03808> know <03045> the work <04639> of God <0430> who <0834> makes <06213> everything <03605>.
6Sow <02232> your seed <02233> in the morning <01242>, and do not <0408> stop working <03027> <03240> until the evening <06153>; for <03588> you do not <0369> know <03045> which activity will succeed <03787>– whether <0335> this <02088> one or <0176> that <02088> one <0259>, or whether <0518> both <08147> will prosper <02896> equally.
7Light <0216> is sweet <04966>, and it is pleasant <02896> for a person <05869> to see <07200> the sun <08121>.
8So <03588>, if <0518> a man <0120> lives <02421> many <07235> years <08141>, let him rejoice <08055> in them all <03605>, but let him remember <02142> that <03588> the days <03117> of darkness <02822> will be <01961> many <07235>– all <03605> that is about to come <0935> is obscure <01892>.
9Rejoice <08055>, young man <0970>, while you are young <03208>, and let your heart <03820> cheer <03190> you in the days <03117> of your youth <0979>. Follow <01980> the impulses <01870> of your heart <03820> and the desires <04758> of your eyes <05869>, but know <03045> that <03588> God <0430> will judge <04941> <0935> your motives and actions.
10Banish <05493> emotional stress <03708> from your mind <03820>. and put away <05674> pain <07451> from your body <01320>; for <03588> youth <03208> and the prime of life <07839> are fleeting <01892>.
