11:2  Invest what you have in several different businesses, because you don’t know what disasters might happen.
11:3  If clouds are full of rain, they will shower on the earth. A tree can fall to the north or south, but it will stay where it falls.
11:4  Those who wait for perfect weather will never plant seeds; those who look at every cloud will never harvest crops.
11:5  You don’t know where the wind will blow, and you don’t know how a baby grows inside the mother. In the same way, you don’t know what God is doing, or how he created everything.
11:6  Plant early in the morning, and work until evening, because you don’t know if this or that will succeed. They might both do well.
11:7  Sunshine is sweet; it is good to see the light of day.
11:8  People ought to enjoy every day of their lives, no matter how long they live. But they should also remember this: You will be dead a long time. Everything that happens then is useless.
11:9  Young people, enjoy yourselves while you are young; be happy while you are young. Do whatever your heart desires, whatever you want to do. But remember that God will judge you for everything you do.
11:10  Don’t worry, and forget the troubles of your body, because youth and childhood are useless.
