1  Cast⁷⁹⁷¹ thy bread³⁸⁹⁹ upon^{5921 6440} the waters:⁴³²⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt find⁴⁶⁷² it after many⁷²³⁰ days.³¹¹⁷

2  Give⁵⁴¹⁴ a portion²⁵⁰⁶ to seven,⁷⁶⁵¹ and also¹⁵⁷¹ to eight;⁸⁰⁸³ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ what⁴¹⁰⁰ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ the earth.⁷⁷⁶

3  If⁵¹⁸ the clouds⁵⁶⁴⁵ be full⁴³⁹⁰ of rain,¹⁶⁵³ they empty⁷³²⁴ themselves upon⁵⁹²¹ the earth:⁷⁷⁶ and if⁵¹⁸ the tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ fall⁵³⁰⁷ toward the south,¹⁸⁶⁴ or⁵¹⁸ toward the north,⁶⁸²⁸ in the place⁴⁷²⁵ where the tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ falleth,^{7945 5307} there⁸⁰³³ it¹⁹³³ shall be.

4  He that observeth⁸¹⁰⁴ the wind⁷³⁰⁷ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ sow;²²³² and he that regardeth⁷²⁰⁰ the clouds⁵⁶⁴⁵ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ reap.⁷¹¹⁴

5  As⁸³⁴ thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁶⁹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ is the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the spirit,⁷³⁰⁷ nor how the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ do grow in the womb⁹⁹⁰ of her that is with child:⁴³⁹² even so³⁶⁰² thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not^{3808 853} the works⁴⁶³⁹ of God⁴³⁰ who⁸³⁴ maketh^{6213 853} all.³⁶⁰⁵

6  In the morning¹²⁴² sow^{2232 853} thy seed,²²³³ and in the evening⁶¹⁵³ withhold⁵¹¹⁷ not⁴⁰⁸ thine hand:³⁰²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁶⁹ whether^{335 2088} shall prosper,³⁷⁸⁷ either this²⁰⁸⁸ or¹⁷⁶ that,²⁰⁸⁸ or whether⁵¹⁸ they both⁸¹⁴⁷ shall be alike²⁵⁹ good.²⁸⁹⁶

7  Truly the light²¹⁶ is sweet,⁴⁹⁶⁶ and a pleasant²⁸⁹⁶ thing it is for the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ to behold^{7200 853} the sun:⁸¹²¹

8  But³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ a man¹²⁰ live²⁴²¹ many⁷²³⁵ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ in them all;³⁶⁰⁵ yet let him remember^{2142 853} the days³¹¹⁷ of darkness;²⁸²² for³⁵⁸⁸ they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ many.⁷²³⁵ All³⁶⁰⁵ that cometh^{7945 935} is vanity.¹⁸⁹²

9  Rejoice,⁸⁰⁵⁵ O young man,⁹⁷⁰ in thy youth;³²⁰⁸ and let thy heart³⁸²⁰ cheer³¹⁹⁰ thee in the days³¹¹⁷ of thy youth,⁹⁷⁹ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of thine heart,³⁸²⁰ and in the sight⁴⁷⁵⁸ of thine eyes:⁵⁸⁶⁹ but know³⁰⁴⁵ thou, that³⁵⁸⁸ for⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things God⁴³⁰ will bring⁹³⁵ thee into judgment.⁴⁹⁴¹

10  Therefore remove⁵⁴⁹³ sorrow³⁷⁰⁸ from thy heart,^{4480 3820} and put away⁵⁶⁷⁴ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ from thy flesh:^{4480 1320} for³⁵⁸⁸ childhood³²⁰⁸ and youth⁷⁸³⁹ are vanity.¹⁸⁹²

1 ἀπόστειλον τὸν ἄρτον σου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ ὕδατος ὅτι ἐν πλήθει τῶν ἡμερῶν εὑρήσεις αὐτόν

2 δὸς μερίδα τοῖς ἑπτὰ καί γε τοῖς ὀκτώ ὅτι οὐ γινώσκεις τί ἔσται πονηρὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

3 ἐὰν πληρωθῶσιν τὰ νέφη ὑετοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκχέουσιν καὶ ἐὰν πέσῃ ξύλον ἐν τῷ νότῳ καὶ ἐὰν ἐν τῷ βορρᾷ τόπῳ οὗ πεσεῖται τὸ ξύλον ἐκεῖ ἔσται

4 τηρῶν ἄνεμον οὐ σπερεῖ καὶ βλέπων ἐν ταῖς νεφέλαις οὐ θερίσει

5 ἐν οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν γινώσκων τίς ἡ ὁδὸς τοῦ πνεύματος ὡς ὀστᾶ ἐν γαστρὶ τῆς κυοφορούσης οὕτως οὐ γνώσῃ τὰ ποιήματα τοῦ θεοῦ ὅσα ποιήσει σὺν τὰ πάντα

6 ἐν πρωίᾳ σπεῖρον τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ εἰς ἑσπέραν μὴ ἀφέτω ἡ χείρ σου ὅτι οὐ γινώσκεις ποῖον στοιχήσει ἢ τοῦτο ἢ τοῦτο καὶ ἐὰν τὰ δύο ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἀγαθά

7 καὶ γλυκὺ τὸ φῶς καὶ ἀγαθὸν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς τοῦ βλέπειν σὺν τὸν ἥλιον

8 ὅτι καὶ ἐὰν ἔτη πολλὰ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐν πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς εὐφρανθήσεται καὶ μνησθήσεται τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ σκότους ὅτι πολλαὶ ἔσονται πᾶν τὸ ἐρχόμενον ματαιότης

9 εὐφραίνου νεανίσκε ἐν νεότητί σου καὶ ἀγαθυνάτω σε ἡ καρδία σου ἐν ἡμέραις νεότητός σου καὶ περιπάτει ἐν ὁδοῖς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐν ὁράσει ὀφθαλμῶν σου καὶ γνῶθι ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις ἄξει σε ὁ θεὸς ἐν κρίσει

10 καὶ ἀπόστησον θυμὸν ἀπὸ καρδίας σου καὶ παράγαγε πονηρίαν ἀπὸ σαρκός σου ὅτι ἡ νεότης καὶ ἡ ἄνοια ματαιότης

1 [Mitte panem tuum super transeuntes aquas,
quia post tempora multa invenies illum.

2 Da partem septem necnon et octo,
quia ignoras quid futurum sit mali super terram.

3 Si repletæ fuerint nubes,
imbrem super terram effundent.
Si ceciderit lignum ad austrum aut ad aquilonem,
in quocumque loco ceciderit, ibi erit.

4 Qui observat ventum non seminat;
et qui considerat nubes numquam metet.

5 Quomodo ignoras quæ sit via spiritus,
et qua ratione compingantur ossa in ventre prægnantis,
sic nescis opera Dei,
qui fabricator est omnium.

6 Mane semina semen tuum,
et vespere ne cesset manus tua:
quia nescis quid magis oriatur, hoc aut illud;
et si utrumque simul, melius erit.]

7 [Dulce lumen,
et delectabile est oculis videre solem.

8 Si annis multis vixerit homo,
et in his omnibus lætatus fuerit,
meminisse debet tenebrosi temporis, et dierum multorum,
qui cum venerint, vanitatis arguentur præterita.

9 Lætare ergo, juvenis, in adolescentia tua,
et in bono sit cor tuum in diebus juventutis tuæ:
et ambula in viis cordis tui,
et in intuitu oculorum tuorum,
et scito quod pro omnibus his adducet te Deus in judicium.

10 Aufer iram a corde tuo,
et amove malitiam a carne tua:
adolescentia enim et voluptas vana sunt.]
