11:1 Invest your
money in foreign trade, and one of these days you will make a profit. |
11:2 Put your
investments in several places---many places even---because you never know
what kind of bad luck you are going to have in this world. |
11:3 No matter
which direction a tree falls, it will lie where it fell. When the clouds are
full, it rains. |
11:4 If you wait
until the wind and the weather are just right, you will never plant anything
and never harvest anything. |
11:5 God made everything,
and you can no more understand what he does than you understand how new life
begins in the womb of a pregnant woman. |
11:6 Do your
planting in the morning and in the evening, too. You never know whether it
will all grow well or whether one planting will do better than the other. |
11:7 It is good to
be able to enjoy the pleasant light of day. |
11:8 Be grateful
for every year you live. No matter how long you live, remember that you will
be dead much longer. There is nothing at all to look forward to. |
11:9 Young people, enjoy your youth. Be happy while you are still
young. Do what you want to do, and follow your heart's desire. But remember
that God is going to judge you for whatever you do. |
11:10 Don't let
anything worry you or cause you pain. You aren't going to be young very long.
