Ecclesiastes, Chapter 11:

Verses from Ecclesiastes, Chapter 11 of the book of Ecclesiastes of the Bible.

Generosity has a reward

1. Cast your seeds into the wind, and over time, you will see the return. The reward will come, after a long wait, like water returning to the earth.
2. Share your possessions generously with seven or even eight. For we do not know what disaster may come upon this land.
3. Just as heavy clouds pour rain over the earth, destinies unfold, without us being able to control.
4. He who watches the winds does not sow his seeds, and whoever waits for the perfect moment will not reap his fruits.
5. Mysteries abound around us, like the path of the wind, like the formation of life in the womb, like the works of the Creator.
6. Plant your seeds in the morning, and continue the work even at night. For we do not know which will succeed, whether both will prosper equally.

7. The light is pleasant to the eyes, it is beautiful to contemplate the bright sun.
8. Live each day to the fullest, remembering the dark days, as the future is still uncertain.
9. Enjoy youth and joy, follow your heart's desires. But know that God will judge every action and intention of the being.
10. Free the heart from anxiety, relieve the body of suffering. The youth and strength we possess are fleeting, ephemeral like the wind.
