New Testament

Ecclesiastes 11:4-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. He who observes the wind will not sow,and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

5. As you do not know the way of the wind,or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child;likewise you do not know the work of Godwho has made everything.

6. In the morning sow your seed,and in the evening do not let your hand rest;because you do not know which activity will find success,this way or that way,or if the both will be good.

7. Light is sweet,and good for the eyes to see the sun;

8. for if a man lives many years,may he rejoice in all of them.But let him also rememberthat the days of darkness are many.Everything that comes is vanity.

9. Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,and in your early years may your heart do you good;walk in the path of your heartand the desire of your eyes;but know that in all these thingsGod will bring you into judgment.

10. Take away anger from your heart,and remove distress from your body,for youth and the dawn are vanity.
