Cast thy

find it after
many days.

Give a

seven, and also to
eight; for thou
knowest not what
evil shall be upon the

If the
clouds be
full of
rain, they
empty themselves upon the
earth: and if the
tree fall toward the
south, or toward the
north, in the
place where the
tree falleth, there it shall
be.

As thou

bones do grow in the
womb of her that is with

knowest not the
works of
God who
maketh all.

In the

both shall be

But if a

Rejoice, O young
man, in thy
youth; and let thy
heart cheer thee in the
days of thy
youth, and
walk in the
ways of thine
heart, and in the
sight of thine
eyes: but
know thou, that for all these things
God will
bring thee into
judgment.

Therefore
remove sorrow from thy

vanity.
