Ecclesiastes 11:7
| ← Ecclesiastes 11:6 | Ecclesiastes 11:7 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 11:8 → |
|---|---|---|
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good.
|
Truly the light [is] sweet, and a pleasant [thing it is] for the eyes to behold the sun:
|
But if a man live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh [is] vanity.
