For you will find it after many days.
Cast your bread upon the waters,
For you will find it after many days.

Whether a tree falls north or south, it stays where it falls.
If the clouds are full of rain,
They empty themselves upon the earth;
And if a tree falls to the south or the north,
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.
They empty themselves upon the earth;
And if a tree falls to the south or the north,
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.
Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.
If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.
If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.

Or whether both alike will be good.
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good.

And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

When people live to be very old, let them rejoice in every day of life. But let them also remember there will be many dark days. Everything still to come is meaningless.
But if a man lives many years
And rejoices in them all,
Yet let him remember the days of darkness,
For they will be many.
All that is coming is vanity.
And rejoices in them all,
